Mata airs frustration at Mourinho 'lies' following Man Utd reunion

The Spaniard was disappointed to see rumours spread regarding a possible move elsewhere once the man who sold him at Chelsea took the Red Devils reins

Juan Mata admits he was hurt by the “lies” spread regarding his future once Jose Mourinho took charge at Manchester United.

Having been moved out of Chelsea by the Portuguese in January 2014, the pair reunited at Old Trafford in the summer of 2016.

It was immediately suggested that Mata’s days could be numbered, with Mourinho reported to be unconvinced by the Spain international’s ability to fit into his preferred system.
