Mata is another media favourite who is being pushed out the door.
Reports claim he could stay in the Premier League, head to Spain, or even join Juventus. But it would be a huge mistake to let Mata go: he is a goalscorer and racks up assists as well.
He is joint top United goalscorer of this season with Angel Di Maria, Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney who all have three goals each.
Why would Manchester United get rid of such a vital player?
