Manchester United star Juan Mata risks causing national offence as he admits: 'I don't like fish and chips'

Juan Mata has played in England for six years and is fully adapted to the local culture but there is one traditional dish he still cannot stand: fish and chips.

Moving to this country from Spain, Mata was warned about local cuisine before he joined Chelsea in 2011 but insists he has been won over by English food. He loves going to country pubs for a Sunday roast and is big fan of pies.

There is one national staple that he cannot stomach, fish and chips. In an interview with Kicca where he discusses his eating habits, he makes the admission that might upset a few folk in English seaside towns.
