He keeps turning the heads of the punters in the Football Transfer Tavern…
Juan Mata’s time at Man Utd was predicted to come to an end upon the arrival of Jose Mourinho – the same manager that unceremoniously oversaw the Spaniard’s departure from Chelsea when he returned to Stamford Bridge in 2014.
However, the tale has developed unlike anyone would have expected – and Mata now finds himself as a key figure in the Man Utd set up.
He has quickly found a role under Mourinho, and as of late has been putting in stunning performances on a near weekly basis.
In fact, Mata is quickly becoming Mourinho’s most important player, as the following stat proved by Squawka suggests…
As per Squawka on Twitter, in the 6 domestic games that Mata has started this season, United have won 5 and drawn 1.
What’s more, they have conceded just 3 goals in that time, whilst they have scored an impressive 12.
