Juan Mata started in the 2-2 draw against Brentford. He was very active in the United attack during the first half. Elanga and Pereira scored for Solskjaer’s team.
Manchester United beat Derby County, the team managed by Wayne (1-2). Juan Mata played 45 minutes and he did it as the captain. Chong and Pellistri made the goals for the Red Devils.
Until 2023, the German multinational will donate 1% of its net sales of footballs – worldwide – to the movement co-founded by Juan Mata. “This association will help us to use football as a force for good and to unite all to try to address social issues as one,” said the Spaniard.
Juan Mata will play for Manchester United in the 2021/22 season. His professionalism, commitment and performance since his signing in 2014 have made the Spaniard a role model within the club. With a new one-year contract agreed, Juan is raring to go in what will be his ninth campaign at United.
It is not the same to play football and be a footballer. Here, I try to explain how my life has been shaped by the beautiful game, the experiences I have had, and the decisions I had to make along the way, consciously or subconsciously, on and off the pitch.
Several stadiums have had a big impact on my career (Mestalla, Stamford bridge, Old Trafford, Soccer City, The Olympic Stadium of Kiev, Allianz Arena, Wembley, Amsterdam Arena…) but football has let me travel so I’ve had the chance of meeting plenty more. I’ve located and compiled them so that you can see them on my particular ‘Mata´s wold map’. I hope you like it.
