Admit it though, he wasn't this attractive in blue as he is in red.
And by attractive, I mean good at football... yep, that's what I mean.

The two goals aside, he was tracking really well and contributing so well defensively.
This role really suits him, he has so much freedom to do what he wants knowing Valencia can cover wide and Herrera can offer support.
He is a Latin symbol for sex personified on a beautifully manscaped beard. The red on him brings out the desire for lust.

Blue brought out his face a bit more. Just need him to turn up vs Shitty now.
That goal was better than Rooney's against City and as good as Berba's against Liverpool. There I said it!
The more I see it, the higher I rank it. Proper contact, great technique and it would only be bettered if it was at Old Trafford.
Best goal we've scored in Anfield? Rafael's and Berbatov's come to mind for recent great goals, but Mata's is better.
I hope this puts an end to the whole "he's not quick enough" argument that the likes of Gary Neville have lapped up. No one brought this up at Chelsea when he was roaming as a playmaker around the pitch. Mata is a player who can seize control of a game with his intelligence and assured play with the ball. It's not like he's unproven in the league. He was arguably in the top 5 players at Chelsea!! When you have his skill, work with it.
I just woke up, I honestly don't know what to say. Don't have a clear memory of the whole game but those goals, just amazing. The 2nd will be remembered by United fans forever.
Obviously I have always been on Mata's side and these arguments like, can't do it away, can't do it again physical teams, wrong signing, no future etc, whatever your opinion is, he will forever be remembered now. It's simple, it's not rugby, it's football, play your best footballers and you will get what you want.
A massive hug to everyone.

Also just woke up. Last night's game was just a haze for me because I was so tired.Berbatov's was at OT
Both of his goals today were top notch.
But that second goal was simply outrageous.

Best in recent memory. Probably since Becks in 97? Charlton and Robson have a couple classics of yore tho.
He was their player of the year 2 years running. If we're toying with "arguable" terms, he was arguably their best player.
I think he means top 5 in the league, whilst a Chelsea player.
Aha. Makes more sense. Ignore me.
I'm talking the entire league!!
Played very well today. Cemented himself as a starter for at least the next match. Di Maria is not himself. Aside from the assist to the wonder goal that Mata scored, he was pretty awful. It didn't help his nerves or confidence to catch a ball in the field of play. Mata though...even if you don't count the goals he was definitely one of the best players for us today.
Was rightly criticized for his poor first half of the season. Gave the ball away and looked slow and lightweight all the time.
Since January he's been good and should have played more. Spurs and today's game showed that he can play on the wing at a high level.
This is huge. To get Mata playing at this level is brilliant.
He's manned the feck up in a big way and I couldn't be happier.
Get him on all set piece duty too.

An absolutely fantastic footballer

Posted this in the post-match thread, but here will do as well
What a picture!
I can't stop fecking smiling.
What a view!
It sure took Juan some time. Nevertheless, I'm very happy that he finally found his groove in LVG's system and may it continue.
RvP would have been proud of his second goal!
Does anyone have a good wallpaper size of his second goal ?
He looks especially sharp in our white strip. It's a lovely uniform.
The whole substitute bench were immensely happy with the second goal. Classic. Great little player.

If we sell him in the summer, I will be pissed. We should build the team around players like him and Herrera.
Finally a midfield, who doesn't shit themself when pressed.

He is the only player I have ever seen pull off having the top button done up.
Every time I see this goal.
Before the Liverpool game, when was the last time he scored away from home? Sunderland? When was the last time he had this sort of impact in an away fixture?
You just don't sell players like Mata. Two world class finishes. The first touch for his first goal was impeccable. He put in the defensive work as well which he's often criticised for. Can't see him being played behind the striker now for various reasons - Van Gaal's post-match comments about balance may indicate that he doesn't favour Mata behind a striker - but on the right is where I've wanted him to play since the start of the season. This is also a massive indicator that you don't need to build the team around him to get the best out of him. Really delighted for him.

He won Chelsea player of the season 2 years in a row playing from the right hand side. He's been excellent in that position for us. 8 goals this season. Juan Love.
When he is on his game he is just . Hope he can be consistent for the rest of the season and not drift in and out of games.
. Hope he can be consistent for the rest of the season and not drift in and out of games.He's certainly happier in this new role. He hated being forced to play as a creative midfielder. The 433 gives him license to drift everywhere. He loves that, as does Herrera and Fellaini. If LVG continues with this formation, the team will play with even greater understanding. Its looking good.
