Can't wait for Mata playing under a manager like van Gaal who knows how to use technical gifted players properly, he is just gonna be amazing I feel.

I'm expecting LVG or whoever to love Mata.
When was that? Who was that?
Mata's randomly got good stats all of a sudden. 6g4a. Not so bad for a first half season where he was getting a small flop backlash for a bit. No Europe next year, should tear it up.
Kagawa is not good enough for United. There, I've said it.
Mata pass
These commentators are a bunch of idiots. Saying Mata is awful then reminding us he's scored 6 in his last 6.

RVP with no pace, dealt with easily. Cracking ball over the top to put him away from Mata.
Mata pulling the strings now
Mata woke up after that free kick, what a player
Second.
These commentators, I don't think they have had anything valid to say throughout the match so far.
Completely clueless
Completely clueless
Probably a bit late to the party. A few have suspected so much for a while.
I hope so. I do.
He actually got ahead of both CBs despite being on a back foot from the start. With no help from behind, yes, nobody followed.
Yet he's good enough for a Dortmund team that was far far better then this United team. Amazing.
4 assists too, this is the best thing Moyes did for us.
Januzaj can easily play that role and so does Rooney. Periera is a great prospect and Mata is a much much better player then Kagawa. That's good enough.
We have too many no 10s. We dont need Kagawa
But he was good enough for Dortmund '12, a team that was a bagillion times better than we've been for a long time now
He doesn't fit this slow-paced, static style. That's for sure.
Fixed for you!
Why were people criticising Mata before anyway? He's a bloody great player
I'd build the team around Mata. I'd sell Kagawa and even Rooney to get in players that allow him to play. I just love seeing him with the ball at his feet in a United shirt.
That Kagawa isn't the Kagawa we have playing for us.
Not suited to the way we play is more like it.
The ball took the CB out of it for a second but he was allowed to recover. Perfect ball and RVP couldn't even get it under control before he was running off the pitch.
Anyone got a video of the goal? Save me watching MOTD.
I'll say it again, all summer gym for Januzaj and stop being a pussy
Adnan will never get a PK.
Is Jordan Henderson good enough to play here then?
Shaw has kept Januzaj in his pocket.
He's good enough for a top club definitely but mata and Rooney are both better in his position, so he'll struggle playing out of position like all players do.
It wasn't his best game before the goal tbf.
Risky challenge from Shaw, though would have been a soft-ish penalty.
He has a better no 10 in Mata ahead of him but he's still easily good enough. He's definitely not good enough as a CM though. Not even for Southampton.
Not going down under a gust of wind like that no
He was shite up until that freekick. That's why.
Dipper's have equallised.
Yes. Obviously.
He's admitted himself he needs to bulk up....and has already started the gym programme to do this. Like Ronaldo had to
101 great goals has it.
