It’s the moment fans have been eagerly anticipating. Juan Mata, the star acquisition of the winter transfer window in England, has arrived from Chelsea for a fee of 4 million euros. His arrival has injected hope into the hearts of Red Devils supporters amidst a challenging season. Making his debut, Mata starts for Manchester United.
However, it’s not Mata who propels Manchester United into the lead against Cardiff City at halftime. Robin Van Persie, returning after a 7-week absence, opens the scoring with a header from a cross by Ashley Cole. So far, Mata has made a positive impression.
Wayne Rooney, also making his return for United, currently finds himself on the bench.
