The club confirmed the signing of Spanish play maker Juan Mata.
The formal Chelsea player and last season player of the season missed training to finalize a deal with Manchester United. Sources from the Chelsea training camp in Cobhams reviewed that the player and his formal manager Jose Mourinho had a brief meeting about the offer from Manchester United before he flew by an helicopter to Manchester United training ground.
Juan Mata has said to be delighted about the switch to Old Trafford and describing Old Trafford as a place for him.
“I am thrilled to be joining United. I have enjoyed some very happy years at Chelsea but the time has come for a new challenge,” he told the club’s official website.
David Moyes, meanwhile, confirmed that Mata will make his United debut against Cardiff on Tuesday at Old Trafford.
“I have been impressed with the excitement he has shown to be part of the new Manchester United,” he added.
“I know our fans have admired Juan for some time now – he has always played well against us – and I know they will be delighted to see him in the red of United, starting on Tuesday.
“Juan is one of the finest playmakers in the game today and it’s a real pleasure to have secured his signature,” he added.
“He’s been instrumental in Chelsea’s recent success, with a notable 28 assists and 32 goals in his last two Premier League seasons.”
