Juan Mata seems to be on his way out of Manchester United after spending two decent seasons at Old Trafford. Borussia Dortmund attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan is heading to the club, paving the way for Mata’s unceremonious departure.
Jose Mourinho has taken a little time to make his mark at Old Trafford. After snapping up Eric Bailly, the Portuguese coach set his sights and roped in world-class players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. However, a fan favourite at Old Trafford – Juan Mata – seems to be on his way out of the club, as Mourinho is not known to be a fan of the Spaniard. Premier League side Everton are tipped to be Mata’s next destination.
Here’s how Twitter looks into the probable transfer:
If mata leaves I will shed a tear, he may not have been the guy we expected but what a lovely man. But Jose wants hard working winners.

People need to realise that Mkhitaryan is Mata’s replacement. We are not getting Draxler as well. We won’t even bid for him.

Not suggesting Mata is good enough or should stay, but there are literally 15 worse players in the squad that have contributed far less.

If Juan Mata goes to Everton, I’ll be extremely disappointed

You cannot sell #Mata and not get another creative minded player with goal scoring potential. It won’t make sense

I really don’t want us to sell #Mata. I want a squad full of quality. Unless he wants to go we should keep him

I know Mata will leave either way but I would’ve preferred him to go to la liga

The idea of Mata leaving makes me sad, but as a footballing decision it makes a lot of sense. Lovely footballer, too inconsistent & slow.

“Jose coming in has brought back the winning mentality” “NOOO DON’T SELL MATA HE’S SUCH A NICE GUY AND HE WRITES BLOGS NOO!!!”

Have heard Mata is in.. Not believing it until I see him sat next to contract nonce, with a pen in his hand looking nervous.

Wonder if Mata went to Everton would it be part of a Stones deal? Just speculating!

Mata’s gonna be like that one ex from high school you never really ever truly get over, even when you’re married

I miss Mata already and he hasent even gone yet

Mata beng dumped by Jose again? One of our best players last couple of seasons, ridiculous.
