Our best offensive player. Has been since he joined if you've paid attention. Play him every game.
 
Playing so well in exactly the areas that Rooney had been stinking up earlier this season.
 
Been responsible for nearly every positive thing we've done this half
 
Easily our best player in the first half, playing really well. Should have had an assist.
 
It's quite ridiculous he doesn't play 99% of our games. He's the only genuine elite advanced playmaker we have.
 
I think him as a #10 with Pogba and Herrera behind him is quite obviously our best midfield in games that we should dominate which should be most games.
 
Best player on the pitch, we take him off when we need a goal.
 
He goes off, we turn to shite. Embarrassingly predictable.
 
Mata deserves better. Always puts in a shift and is the only proper catalyst to your offense, yet he doesn't get anywhere near the credit from the manager he deserves.
Hugs :(
 
Why was he even subbed off! Was easily our best player. Even if he wanted to try and bring Rooney on, get him in place of Zlatan or ingard

Only played 90' once this season. In 13 games he's been subbed off 10 times and subbed on 3 times (both subbed on and off vs Leicester). Bit strange.
 
Best i´ve seen him play for us. First time i´ve been thoroughly impressed by him. Did everything from linking up play, starting attacks, creating goals for a change as well, ran at players and was dangerous with his shooting as usual. More of the same please.
 
Can't understand taking him off. He was our best player and has got the confidence in front of goal, don't see what Rooney offered that he didn't. Either way his link up play was great and if Ibra had been in better form he'd have a few assists. I still think we're missing a trick by not having Rashford tuck inside more and make runs in behind. Mata can play him in and that's what's missing from our game, actually getting in behind consistently.
