Generally considered a team player, the Spaniard always does his best for his squad -but his current situation can’t be making him happy.
Mata is in his prime and should be an integral member of any side he joins especially if he wants to continue being considered for his national team.
In what has been a glittering career, Mata has been part of a very successful Chelsea squad not to mention Spain one as well as winning several personal accolades and will be conscious of remaining one of Europe’s top players.
This can only continue if he is given time to develop his talent on the biggest stages not occasionally for a team that is full to the brim with attacking options.
Mata is surely aware that he is not truly appreciated at United despite signing only nine months ago and may himself push through a transfer.
