Juan Mata breaks silence after landing new club following Man Utd transfer exit

Former Manchester United star Juan Mata has expressed how keen he is to lift trophies with Galatasaray after sealing a move to the Turkish giants.

The Spanish playmaker left Old Trafford at the end of last season after a hugely successful seven-and-half year spell with the Red Devils. After reportedly rejecting a switch to MLS, Mata has finally found his next employers having penned a one-year deal with the option of an extra year with Galatasaray, having flown into Istanbul for talks on Thursday.

Speaking after his move to the Nef Stadyumu, the 34-year-old highlighted his intention to claim silverware with the club. He said: "I feel so good. I am excited and very motivated. I'm grateful for being here. Everyone is being very friendly. I can't wait to win with Galatasaray.
