BBC pundit Garth Crooks sticks the knife in to Chelsea manager
Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata is embarrassing Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho with his consistent performances, according to BBC pundit Garth Crooks.
The Spaniard has been in superb form for the Red Devils in recent months and has helped guide the club to the top of the Premier League.
Mata provided a goal and an assist during United‘s 3-0 win over Sunderland, which has put Louis van Gaal‘s men top of the table.
As for the midfielder’s former-club, they are languishing down in 15th after a torrid start to the new Premier League campaign, and Crooks believes if United can win the title, it would be a ‘final embarrassment’ for Mourinho, who sold Mata last January.
Crooks Discusses Mata
‘It’s with some irony that I find Chelsea struggling at one end of the table and Manchester United on top,’ Crooks wrote in his BBC Sport column.
‘It would be remiss of me not to mention Juan Mata at this point; the man who Mourinho couldn’t want to get out of the revolving door at Stamford Bridge.
‘It has been Mata’s consistent performances for the Red Devils under Louis van Gaal that have helped transform their season.
‘Mata was instrumental in United’s victory over Sunderland and should they win the title, his departure could prove to be Mourinho’s final embarrassment.’
