You don't hire the best manager in the world and tie his hands. You give him freedom and the support he needs to make the best team possible. If this means selling Mata or whomever, for whatever reason, that's fine.
And if it means you don't see sight nor sound of a youth player being promoted to the srating XI for the next three years?
We should offer him fred the reds job!
he can walk round the pitch giving out hugs and waves taking pics with fans!
would definitely get more out of him than that bloody mascot.

Hugs Juan.
Magnificent tiny bastard got us the first goal.
His blog is back
He is so nice it hurts.
I know. Can you imagine a world full of Juan Matas?
I really enjoyed his comments about the sacrifices a lot of the Olympians in lesser known sports have to make the guy is just
Care Bears?
He's not always nice
A friend of mine saw him at Heathrow 2-3 days after the CL final win 2012.....he was there with his girlfriend and mother-in-law.....he has quarreled with both of them.

More hugs to him
He has a girlfriend? Always thought he's single and has Ander Herrera
Exactly.
Nah both of them aren't single (have girlfriends that is
). I think he is just one of those guys who keep their private lives privateGirlfriend and Mother in Law!He's not always nice

. Only Mata can pull something like this off. (Jokes, I know what you mean).I'm sure it was their fault.He's not always nice

Mata and Herrera have girlfriends = mind blown
They've done well to keep it private as I've never seen a girl on the arms of either. Whenever a wag situation pops up they always seem to arrive by themselves.

I think Herrera has a child. Sure I've seen a picture of him with a woman pushing a pram.
Mata's not rolling over and giving up his United career is he? Fair play to him.
I was just thinking as soon as I saw this how awkward his blogs would be if he gets frozen out. How were they wen LVG was benching him last year?
Mata and Herrera are both very professional footballers. As much as they want minutes on the pitch, you can see their passion even on the bench. Media made up lots of stories but we all know by now both of them always put United before self.
Hugs Juan
Not quite his blog, but the latest news update on his site comes across as a wee bit passive aggressive! Probably just a case of something being lost in translation...
Surprised also to hear that's the first game in 54 with no minutes for him.
UNITED SUFFER THEIR FIRST DEFEAT
The Red Devils without Juan Mata lost 1-2 at Old Trafford against Manchester City. After 54 games, Mata didn’t have minutes in this Premier match. On Thursday, Man Utd will play Europa League against Feyenoord.

Seeing as you brought that up … I must admit I was originally loathe to comment on my initial reaction to www.reinventarseesvida.com as the choice for a web address for an international charity? In Spanish it might break down well but I can't help but read it in english as Reinvent Arse Es Vida … may have to rethink that one!USO DE COOKIES
Not sure the logo helps either
Great cause, though. ALS is a horrible affliction. I've volunteered with some sufferers and the only thing I can say is it fecking sucks to watch...I don't think I'd be able to cope with that diagnosis. Juan just continues to amaze.

Was not taking anything away from the fight for an extremely good cause. I work in brand awareness and just thought that the name and the logo do not translate so well into English perhaps hampering their valiant efforts.
Just when you think the guy can't get any more perfect, he offers up thoughts on Leonard Cohen. Can you honestly imagine the likes of Shaw, Rooney, Smalling and Lingard having any idea who Cohen is?
A SPECIAL GAME WITH A GREAT GOAL: GOING BACK TO WEMBLEY
13 MAR 2017
Hi everyone,
Today I’m writing from London, from our pre-game hotel by the Thames. As you know, tonight we play the FA Cup quarter-finals against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Every game is important, but we are approaching that crucial part of the season where every tie will define our future in all the competitions we’re still playing, so tonight’s game is special.
First of all, because the FA Cup semi-finals are at stake. We are the defending champions and that, together with the recent visit to Wembley and the EFL Cup trophy, gives us an extra power in this great competition. And obviously, playing such a game against Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge, where I have felt very welcome ever since the first day, means that this is one of the games in the year that are ‘different’. It would be great news to go back to Wembley this season. The team knows it, and we are focused on that. I hope we have a great football night at the Bridge and we can make it through the semis, make all the fans that travel with us to London happy, and get closer to another trophy. We know it’s going to be complicated but we will give everything on the pitch.
We come from a 1-1 draw in Rostov and I think it’s not a bad result, given all the circumstances around the game: a long trip, a tough rival and the pitch conditions. Our goal on Thursday will be to get a ticket to the next round, this time with the support and strength that we always get from Old Trafford. Being in the quarter-finals of the Europa League would be a good signal that we are doing well, but, again, first we need a good performance against Rostov, before going back to the Premier League.
In Spain, the fight for the title is going to be very exciting until the end. After one of the most amazing comebacks I’ve ever seen in the Champions League, Barcelona suffered a defeat in Riazor, always a tough stadium and even more now, because it seems Deportivo is reacting with the new manager. The last four days of Barcelona are good to keep in mind that, in football, there is no truce; we should never take anything for granted. If you believe, you can get anything, but you must be aware that every rival will try to put you in trouble…
Real Madrid defeated Betis at the Bernabeu, 2-1, with yet another header from Sergio Ramos. His ability to score goals (usually very important goals) being a defender is just unbelievable. He’s one of the best defenders in the history of Spanish football, no doubt, and also a great person and team-mate. Meanwhile Sevilla, still fighting for the title, only got a draw at home against Leganes, and Atletico won away with a nice goal from Griezmann. Everything’s open.
Speaking about my country, this week has been the anniversary of March 11, a date that has a strong significance for everyone in Spain. It’s a day to remember all those people who lost their lives, and to remain strong and united against terrorism and violence.
I’m signing off now. I hope that we can enjoy a great game tonight and make it through the semis. Have a nice week, thank you for your support!
Hugs,
Juan
PS: Here my admiration and congrats to Xabi Alonso after announcing that he will retire from football at the end of the season. He’s had a fantastic career with plenty of titles and especially great football. It has been a pleasure for me to have shared so many good moments with him in the national team. He is, without a doubt, one of the best midfielders I have ever played with, his touch and vision on the pitch are amazing! He’s a good example of how important it is to use your brain in this sport. Congratulations and thank you, Xabi.

So cute.
If Mata walked into the set of "Where the wild things are" he'd just start hugging all the creatures.
