Wasn't there plans for him to be involved in the coaching setup post retirement?
He's clearly a good player but not sure playing him more would have made much difference. Similar to Matic, he looks great in cameo roles but isn't going to pull up trees week in week out in the harshest league in the world. Nice guy though. |

He was clearly a free role/attacking mid at Juve. He's been poor NQAT, but buying him as a 6 or to play in a midfield 2 was an awful idea. But then he's also massively underwhelmed when he's played in his preferred position. Anyway back to Mata - yeah, largely been a wasted talent. At least we had Juanfield. |

The Mata revision after a decent half in a dead rubber against Brentford.
Time and time again he has proven to be too weak, too slow, and too ineffectual for us, particularly in big games. He's actually been a poor signing overall. First genuine player we signed in that continental number 10 mould, so came with high hopes, but he never really reached the standards he did for Chelsea. Thanks for the Anfield bicycle kick, being a nice fella and the blogs, but adios amigo. Hugs. x |

Crazy that Mata was only 25 when he signed for us. I thought he was about 30
Did well for us until mourinho came tbh. Agreed that he hasn't been able to cut it at the very highest level for some time. But, for home games against lesser opposition where we have a lot of the ball against deep defences, we really should have used him more (and afforded Bruno more rest) |

Not sure how anyone can say Mata has been anything other than another failed signing
He was a British transfer record when we signed him and I can hardly remember a season were he made a big impact and produced impressive numbers in terms of goals and assists A nice game here and there but that's about it Most of his seasons at the club he hasn't been anywhere close to being an automatic first 11 player |

All of our next set of signings need to be fast as £#%&!, can run all day & be a @#%&!. We need a team full of rage that hate to £#%&!ing lose - Mata strikes me as far too rounded and intelligent to give a shit about the circus & therefore is off trying to save the world with his wage sacrifice program etc. Same is likely true of Rashford, talent will take you so far. You need to be a bit thick & bloody minded to be a great footballer imo. |

He played well for a bit under LVG though. Quote:

For the record he was not a British transfer record when we signed him. He was the club's record signing at £37.5M in January 2014. The British transfer record was still held by Fernando Torres when he moved to Chelsea in January 2011 for £50M. Angel Di Maria eclipsed both of those records when we bought him for £60M in August 2014.
