Juan Mata often used his artistic licence with a football at his feet, and the former Manchester United fan favourite will soon be back to showcase the beautiful game.
However, Mata, who turned 35 on Friday, won't be returning to run out at Old Trafford for a second stint with the club. Having signed for David Moyes for £37.1 million in January 2014, the popular Spaniard spent the next eight and a half seasons at the club.
During that period he helped them to an FA Cup win under Louis van Gaal and was instrumental in the League Cup and Europa League double under Jose Mourinho in 2016/17. But his career certainly hasn't stalled, with the left-footed maestro currently on course for more silverware at Galatasaray.
