Juan Mata has revealed that he is hoping to play in a more central role for Manchester United after being pushed out to the wings since his move from Chelsea. The Spaniard completed his move to the club in January, but he has only found space on the flanks in Moyes’ 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 formations.
After helping Manchester United beat West Brom, Mata revealed his favourite position. He said:
“I love to play between the lines. Right now I am playing on the right but to be honest, I don’t see myself as a proper winger.
“I like to play between the lines as a No.10. When I come inside, that is where I feel comftable to play, to keep in touch with the ball, because I love to play in possession and with the ball.”
