Have family in mijas told today Juan Mata all over tv meeting some offical looking suits in Valencia.

Makes sense to me.

I think we will sell him for cheap then buy Otamendi out of his buy out clause. Its what we do.

Ex club, home country, regular 1st team football, his best mate DDG looks to be off to Spain too, we want Otamendi. All adds up to making sense to me too.

Funny enough a few friends and I were chatting at work yesterday about players who may leave their clubs to push for Euro 2016 places and almost everyone thought Mata would be one of those. Granted most of them are Liverpool and Arsenal fans though.
Hope he stays and we get the best out of him. Class player.

I think mata will be used as a swap for otmaendi with Roberto firmano being his replacement.
I personally will be sad to see the little magician go. Good player and seems to be a nice person as well. It's going to be an interesting couple of months.

I don't think Mata will be headed anywhere this year. I think he has a place in our team for sure.

As one of our most creative players we won't get rid of him. plus he plays the way Van Gall wants untited to play - total football like his ajax 74 team (i think it was 74)

You think the way the English press pick up on every little thing about United to make a story that if this was all over the TV in Spain somebody might have picked up on it in England? Doesn't seem genuine to me, seen nothing of it.

I Really like Mata and hope he stays.but you do need to build a team round him to get the best out of him and I am not sure we will do that.
As a 433 we Need pace wide and he does not have that. he won't be played as the attacking Midfielder.
In av4231 I think Lvg favours rooney behind the striker.
Just not sure he is best suited to what we Want.
That said hope he stays as he can. Make a difference in games.

i'd like to think Mata's best friend is Herrera. So hopefully he stays. It's worth watching them two's crossbar challenge and their footgolf video.
