Valencia reaction
After a disappointing night against his former club, Juan Mata has been typically forthright in his assessment of United’s performance.
He has admitted that slow starts are becoming a real problem for United and also
laid bare his disappointment about missing out on top spot to Juventus.
Mata was not the only rarely-seen playmaker on show last night, Andreas Pereira was also handed a start and has told Jose Mourinho he is desperate for more gametime, having been jettisoned following a promising start to the season.
