I only watched the game last night and didn't actually think his all round game was as good as the hype he was getting on here (and from Giggs) His movement in the box was brilliant though. A really natural goal-scorer. Says a lot that he's nipping in ahead of a predator like Hernandez.He'd been prolific at Chelsea, goals are a part of his game.
It's actually very shocking that our midfielders haven't been scoring for a few years now. Fergie always used to say how over the years we had goals coming from all the team and especially from midfield but then didn't sign a midfielder for agesTweet

What's even more shocking to me is that Mata also scored more than any of our wingers, I mean Carrick and Fletcher have other qualities, but Nani, Valencia, Young, Adnan and Kagawa have scored a grand total of 8 league goals between them this year. 4 of which are Adnans.It's actually very shocking that our midfielders haven't been scoring for a few years now.

I blame Moyes (@nahealai just kidding, before I get an essay what Moyes has to do with it)
Absolutely! I think when Fergie said "goals from the whole team/midfield" he meant wingers as well (Becks, Giggs and Ronaldo regularly scored important goals).What's even more shocking to me is that Mata also scored more than any of our wingers, I mean Carrick and Fletcher have other qualities, but Nani, Valencia, Young, Adnan and Kagawa have scored a grand total of 8 league goals between them this year. 4 of which are Adnans.
Exactly this.It's a completely nonsense article based on nothing except for ideas on LvG's preferred formation. But even then, it says that Rooney is the obvious choice behind RvP. Why? What indication has van Gaal given that that's what he plans to do.
The only quotes in the article are from Mata about 2 or 3 months ago. Complete rubbish and I wouldn't worry a jot about it.
So a Spaniard would rather live & play in Manchester, as opposed to Barcelona - OKEven so, Mata can fit perfectly as a play maker using a 3 in the middle formation which allows Mata to push forward. Total nonsense, Mata loves being here especially with De Gea also being here.
Yes, we can offer more money than Spanish clubs. Seeing Mata go would devastate me, I'd rather us not sign any players and keep Mata. Him, Januzaj and De Gea are my favorite Manchester United players.So a Spaniard would rather live & play in Manchester, as opposed to Barcelona - OK
Yep bullshit.The ex-Bayern Munich chief prefers to play with one playmaker behind the main striker, and with Wayne Rooney his obvious choice behind Robin Van Persie in attack, Mata could be sacrificed to raise funds for pacy, direct wide-men
I think that because the rule runs from 1st of July until 30th of June, means in that period he can't play for more than two clubs. I think come 30th of June he is free to sign for who he wants. I could be wrong though. How do you interpret it?Not sure if Mata can play for any other club till January. Isn't there some sort of rule that a player cannot play for more than 2 clubs in the space of one year?
Even if it were not, would make no sense to even consider selling him. He's untouchable in terms of quality at the club.
Players may be registered for a maximum of three clubs during the period from 1 July until 30 June of the following year. During this period, the player is only eligible to play in Official Matches for two clubs.
Thats gonna screw up our Capital One Cup ambition.I'd think about it as long as we get custody on weekends.
