'Back together!' - Manchester United fans go wild as Juan Mata parties with Victor Lindelof

Manchester United supporters have been reacting to Victor Lindelof's reunion with former teammate Juan Mata.

Mata, who is a free agent after spending last season at Turkish giants Galatasaray, was pictured posing with the Swedish central defender on the Greek Island of Mykonos. Despite leaving in 2022, the 35-year-old attacking midfielder remains a hugely popular figure among United fans and Lindelof is clearly also a massive fan of his as he captioned the image: "The best of Mykonos."

Delighted Reds fans took to the comments section on Instagram to express their delight in seeing Mata enjoying some downtime with Lindelof. Here is a selection of the responses:

Less than two weeks ago Mata returned to Manchester as he attended the Manchester International Festival. During the cultural event, the former Red showcased his new artwork entitled: 'The Trequartista: Art and Football United.'

When asked by BBC's Morning Live team about his return to Manchester, Mata said: "I feel at home, yes. When I was coming back last night, I was feeling the energy already.

"I lived for so many years here. I have so many friends [here]. So I feel at home here. I'm so happy to be here."

Lindelof will be returning to Carrington shortly as he prepares for United's pre-season tour of the US. Some of the Reds' squad have already returned to training and will take part in a friendly against Leeds in Oslo on Wednesday.
