Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has sent a heartfelt message to Juan Mata after it was announced that the midfielder would be leaving Old Trafford.
Mata joined for a then-club record of £37.1million in January 2014 from Chelsea. The 34-year-old won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League during his time in Manchester, starting in all three finals.
However, Mata failed to break into the first team on a regular basis last season making just 12 appearances for the club and with his contract expiring at the end of this month, the decision was made for the Spaniard to leave United. One player who has represented the Reds and Spain alongside Mata is De Gea and he took to Instagram to share a tribute to his teammate.
