Match Rewind: What’s your favourite Mata moment?
Over the last six weeks, we’ve been asking you to choose which classic Manchester United matches you want to relive in full.
With three games streamed each week – on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays – there’s been plenty of opportunity to look back on some cherished Red memories.
Our latest vote is centred around our Spanish playmaker Juan Mata, who celebrates his 32nd birthday tomorrow (Tuesday).
To mark the occasion, we’re asking you to choose between four games that provided some of Mata’s finest moments in a United shirt…
LIVERPOOL 1 UNITED 2 (PREMIER LEAGUE, 2014/15)
Visits to Anfield are always important, even when there’s nothing to play for. In March 2015, however, both sides were battling it out for the final Champions League spot, with United just two clear of the Merseysiders in fourth. Liverpool had embarked on a 13-match unbeaten run in the league since losing 3-0 to United in December, and were slight favourites going into the game. We were in the midst of a purple patch ourselves, though, and Mata’s marvellous individual performance at the heart of a composed and controlled team showing ensured the Reds were in Mersey paradise by the time the full-time whistle blew.
