Mata needs to become more selfish

The nicest man in football was too nice today – rather than going for goal himself, he tried on numerous occasions to create assists for other players.

This may have been the difference for Manchester United, and Juan Mata does need to be more selfish on the pitch.

Angel Di Maria on the other hand tried for goal twice after coming on – but did not put enough into his attempts.

Possibly because he isn’t 100% fit just yet, but United will hope for better from Angel on Boxing Day.
