The third way.
From now on we will only be referred to in any official communications as New Manchester United.
The result will be that we are generally popular, until we feck it up by invading Iraq.

Definitely. There's no doubting that he's good enough to wear it and it won't affect him. He'll be an Eric type of number 7.
Off my tits with happiness over this and as Moyes said, he's the first of many new arrivals planned.The future is red my friends!
I wonder if Mata joining will benefit De Gea - the two seem to be very good friends. Obviously that will benefit Mata settling in, but might it also give De Gea a bit of extra motivation and confidence? People are always more confident around close friends etc...
Does anyone have that picture of Mata in a red shirt signing a United shirt?????
Need it ASAP please!
Need it ASAP please!
I get suspicious everytime players refer to us as a "massive club" and always think they're taking the piss. All those years taking the piss out of City's ruined that word for me. 
Yeap. This definitely strikes a chord with me. Good guy. He's not Robbie Keane, that's for sure.

Not a life long United fan?
Do not want.
Do not want.
Moyes' head is huge in these photos.
Got the one from there, thanks everyone.
Literally about to post the same thing...
Head is the wrong size for him to be manager of this club
That seven shirt was from twitter long, long before he ever arrived at our training ground.
Our record signing and such a good player should get 7 though.

Thats why I posted it. Another one of his "gems"

I genuinely don't know, i don't usually follow the twitter thread. I'm guessing he's a well known bullshitter then?
I hope he gets the number 8 shirt, it would make the most sense.
I'm more disturbed by his obsession over Ainsley Harriott personally.
Juan Mata lads and lassies. Juan Mata. The one player in the league I'd have signed if I was given the choice. Fantastic signing and fantastic signals from Moyes about our intentions for the future. Would love another big signing this month, but even if it's not to be, we've done great business here. United signing genuine world class players. Great to see.
Still can't believe he's ours. It'll be amazing to see him in a red shirt on Tuesday.
It would except it isn't on TV and streams will be impossible to find.
Hold on, stupid question incoming, is Mata eligible for CL? I've no idea if he played in that competition for Chelsea.
No played for them twice.
I totally disagree he thought like that, or if he did, it's totally his own fault in not retaining the backroom staff. I think he's naive in thinking any coaches can coach a team of Champions and with the departure of Sir Alex who has been an extraordinary maestro at United for 26 years, he could not have single-handedly managed. I think he secretly regretted the decision. But then there is no doubt he wants to build his own legacy.
If this is truly what he said I am pleasantly surprised. A welcome change from the passive way of speaking we've been accustomed to under Moyes.
Eric type of Number 7 was very unique and can't be easily replicated. It is a very big question mark any world top player has similar effect Eric had on United. Not even CR7
Ohh no it happens again.
After watching that interview on the United website, a few thoughts of mine.
1. I'm utterly in love with this guy already, and questioning my sexuality.
2. His English is superb, and as many have already says, he comes across as a throughly nice, humble, modest chap. And that post on his website, praising Chelsea and their fans, very classy.
3. The beard
4. De Gea
5. The final, and most important point - Juan Mata is a Manchester United player. As in, he plays for us now. He's a top-class player, who used to play for Chelsea, where I assumed he would be for a long time. Maybe move to Madrid, Barca, PSG for big money. But no, now he plays for us. It's going to take a few days for that to sink in fully (like it did with RVP). What a lift this is going to be for everyone associated with Manchester United
What a lovely down to earth fella. Its impossible not like this dude & that letter he posted to Chelsea fans was superb. Proper class all round. They know what they are gonna miss & his humbleness & affection for them, will retain his legend-status at the Blues - much the same as we regard Ronnie. The game needs more folk like those two lads.
If he had of went to Liverpool or Shitty - he'd be a cuntbag tho
God I love him already.
Also why does Moyes look like Smeagle there? His eyes are so bulgy and look like they will pop out anytime!

He looks like Vincent Chase
Did the whole cup-tied thing used to be different back in the day?
de gea: are you coming here by helicopter or bicycle?
Can't wait to see him on Tuesday, it'll be a massive lift to everybody associated with the club, hopefully the player mostly.
Honestly, maybe it's a sign, but I usual can't stomach players at our competitors, but I always thought Mata was a decent bloke when he was interviewed. Delighted.
Two players that I always couldn't help but admire from rival clubs were van Persie and mata. Who would have thought they'd both be here now? He genuinely seems like a great guy as well as being a great footballer. Mourinho even praised him recently for how professional he's been over everything, not going public about anything, not throwing a strop at the lack of minutes and all that. Great to have him here.
