I reckon I'd happily have him back.

Running the show as the #10. One goal & one assist in the first half.

Juan Mata more valuable to Jose Mourinho at Man United than he was at Chelsea

Jose Mourinho says Juan Mata is far better suited to his current Manchester United team than the one he had at Chelsea.

It's like he intentionally sold one of our better players to United knowing well he'll end up there one day...

I've been saying this all along, it's a conspiracy. Jose sold Mata to his future self. 

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

He's right.

Cared to explain? Since he was the manager and he was implementing the style and getting the players he wanted.

'Big differences to Chelsea tactics'

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The man is shameless.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Jose is actually a clown. Confirmed. 

[Leif 6,006]

He was still a better player with us. He's better now technically and plays as a more allrounded player, but he won more games for us. His mentality was better here because this was his new home. United will never feel like his home, he still looks alienated there.

At Chelsea, Mourinho preferred Oscar as he wanted balance in the midfield.  (He already had Hazard in terms of creativity)

At United, he needs Mata as they don't really have anyone else capable of the creative spark. (Rooney's on the decline, Miki is still adapting and Martial is injured atm)

The same reason why we're not playing Fabregas right now.
I love Mata but that's the harsh, cold truth. Still I wouldn't have sold him, but sometimes you don't have power over certain things.

Good morning pal.

To me the actual clowns are the ones who change their opinions about managers when managers change their clubs. Anyway at least after years, you were able to figure out what many have been saying here years ago. Again good morning.

What are you exactly talking about sorry? 

[Jase 43,479]

Didn't track Hazard for the goal yesterday.

It's moments like that makes Mata getting so much game time under Mourinho at United so bizarre. He couldn't wait to bench him here 3 years ago!

Since August has he actually been getting any more game time than he did under Jose here?

He's only started 2 games out of 6 league games since the return from the first international break, and IRRC 1 in 3 average was roughly how many he started under Mou until he was sold.

Tbh, he seems to get better results (barring the big games they've played this season), when Mata is present. IMO he still doesn't try him out enough, even if its more of a chance than he got here.

The main reason he reverts back to Mata is because the other options, namely Rooney, and now Pogba, are not delivering enough.
