Juan Mata has arguably been United’s best player this season – this all after a summer of speculation following Mourinho’s arrival, and whether or not the Portuguese would sell him again.

However, the Spanish international has been excellent for the Red Devils, and has scored five goals in all competitions, including three in the Premier League.

It’s also his record against the top six sides which is impressive, as the Spaniard averages a goal or an assist every 148 minutes, which is better than the likes of Mesut Ozil (179), Eden Hazard (230), and Eriksen (337).

Unsurprisingly, it was Mata who scored the winner against Manchester City in the League Cup in October, and netted United’s goal in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal last month.

A big-game player who has been excellent for United this season, and just pips Dele Alli to the number ten spot.
