Mata Reveals How It Feels Weird Playing For Man United (See What He Said)

Juan Mata has admitted that he is still isn’t used to playing for Manchester United, describing his experience at one of the world’s top clubs as “surreal”.

Mata completed a £37 million ($47m) move to United from Chelsea in January 2014, ending a hugely successful three-year spell at Stamford Bridge.

The 32-year-old became a Champions League and FA Cup winner with the Blues, establishing himself as one of the finest midfielders in Europe in the process.

However, Mata is aware of the club’s illustrious history and the players that helped deliver so many major titles at the height of Fergie’s reign, and still has to pinch himself that he is now treading the same path as a whole host of legendary figures.

Appearing in the new Amazon Prime Video exclusive docuseries Living Abroad, he said:

“The feeling of being a player at Manchester United is really special and almost unique in football.

“At times it seems surreal that in the morning I put on that shirt to train, that I play in the stadium where players like Eric Cantona, George Best, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes have played.

“People I watched from a long way away as a kid and especially that generation of Beckham, Scholes, Giggs and now I’m playing in their team and I’m so proud of that.”
