With the starting XI full of young players, Manchester United beat FC Astana on the first day (1-0). Greenwood scored the winning goal, the first one with United. Mata, like Lingard, entered the pitch to boost the ManU attack. This Sunday the Premier returns with a visit to West Ham.
A goal by Rashford was enough to defeat Leicester City (1-0). Juan Mata, in the line up for the second consecutive game, had a chance after a beautiful personal action. He was applauded by Old Trafford’s fans when he was replaced.
Juan Mata received the Enrique Castro ‘Quini’ Award in a beautiful act in Gijón. On their first edition, the award recognizes the commitment of the Spanish international with Common Goal. Luis Rubiales, president of the RFEF, was the one in charge of giving the award to Juan. The ‘Escuela de Fútbol de Mareo’ was also awarded.
Juan Mata started a game where Manchester United drew to Southampton (1-1) despite being superior to their rival. The Asturian created three chances in the first half and his association with Daniel James was quite productive for United.
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.
