Another fantastic performance from Mata today. Making the 10 his own. Just needs players around him who will play at the same level.
MOTM, no idea why we brought him off.
Insane to sub him for Rooney. He was running the show and our performance massively dipped after he went off.
Feel very sorry for him, put up the armband tonight and was a creative machine all afternoon. Reminiscent of Mata we saw at Chelsea, creating chances and getting at the end of them. Feel he should've converted the chance Ibra created for him where he shot straight at Heaton but nothing went our way today.
It hurts why Jose doesn't see how crucial he is to our build up play, our momentum completely went once he was subbed off. I hope he is in the XI for Swansea game

Not much competition. Everyone else including De Gea has been shit for large chunks of the season.
Honestly, I'd take a battered knackered hobbling on one leg Mata over Rooney.
It's not like he relies on pace anyway.

Our best player today alongside Pogba.
His sub made no sense to me. Mourinho seems like LVG at times - making senseless pre-conceived subs.
Best player on the pitch again for us, no idea why he was subbed. Simply has to be the first name on the team sheet.
I was raging when he came off. Our best player by a mile.
We resulted to crosses into the box at the end. That was the clear strategy with the subs.

7 chances created and 6 shots? No goal and that too from a clinical player like Mata. Yep...... today was 'one of those days'
The thing I love about those stats are 100 % passing accuracy with 50 passes. Especially when we were playing in the final third throughout. Even those horizontal passes there tend to get intercepted let alone the forward passes. Just highlights how good he was
Best game in a United shirt. Subbed
I just don't get why Mou subs him every time we are chasing the game
Today he was our best player by quite some distance, and was involved inn all of our best attacks, yet he gets subbed.
Why ?

He was brilliant. So unlucky not to score
Crazy to take him off. Absolutely crazy
Even worse that he's replaced by fellaini and Rooney. Really does make you wonder sometimes
Can't believe we replaced him with Rooney and fecking Fellaini.
Even with these big names (Pogba and Ibrahimovic), he still remains our best player. He's the only player who can build up slick passes and momentum. When he doesn't play, we're completely devoid of that.

I think he was subbed for players that are better at winning the ball. He is easier to play around, especially after 70mins with a lot of running.
With 10 men, you need players that are great pressers. Especially when the 11 men team is happy with 0-0.

I thought it was purely so we could spam crosses into Zlatan's honker and Fellaini's afro.
Why Rooney was on the pitch, I have no fecking idea. That shot at the end completely summed him up.
Best player by a mile gets subbed off. Classless from Mou
Our best player.
He's been another level this season. I'd be furious if he was sold.

Amazing stats, especially considering some of the work he was doing in and around the box.
Best player on the pitch and he gets subbed for Rooney and Fellaini... Joke of a decision.
He's been our best player alongside Herrera this season. I remember that he was linked with Everton this summer...

He was excellent. Really excelled with the armband on too, should have played 90mins 100%
Mata simply has to start.
He's probably the only attacking player who deserves to start every game for us. Everyone else has been incredibly inconsistent.
It seems like the 3 amigos are the only guaranteed starters for us this season. Well except for Bailly.

Hopefully Mourinho doesn't force him out of the club.
Mourinho really seems to rate him. There was a quote a while back of him saying that at Chelsea he was a good player but at Man United he is a very good player.
No idea why he gets subbed off around the 70th minute every time though. Maybe he thinks he doesn't have the stamina?
Not sure. Today it could have been because we needed fresh legs through the centre but he gets subbed every game which must annoy him. Mata seems to a guy that really hates losing and always wants to be involved.
Made him captain today tbf.
You don't reckon Jose is still on the Chelsea payroll do you....
He is probably on a few payrolls. Are manager payouts in a lump sum or installments?
I wasn't being serious, btw -- before anyone accuses me of paranoia, or of spreading conspiracy theories
100% passing with some of the things he was doing in and around their area is absolutely insane.
He's been brilliant this season as a number 10.

Taking him off was surrendering the draw.
Fantastic today.

You would think Mourinho was fecking us over on purpose with subbing him off. Best game in a United shirt all around for me, he was fecking brilliant
