Manchester United roundup: Rooney snub, Mata praise and three transfer stories 1

Manchester United manager is full of praise for Juan Mata as he called the Spniard as a ‘natural habitat’ at Old Trafford. Mata has been the best midfielder player for United under van Gaal and have managed to win a place in first team under Jose Mourinho in the recent weeks.

Speaking ahead of their Euopa League clash, Mourinho said: “Chelsea were playing in a defensive block when we won the title in 2014-15.  It’s one thing having the players for that and it’s another having players trying to play in a different way. We are trying to play in a different way.

“He is very adaptive with his qualities. He has found a very good natural habitat with us.

“So Juan at Chelsea in my project was one player, and Juan in my project at Man United is another thing.”
