Juan Mata is back in a Manchester United kit again, as he promotes this summer’s Tour 2024 match against Real Betis in San Diego, USA.

Our former playmaker made 285 appearances and scored 51 goals during nine seasons as a Red, winning the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League.

It’s fair to say the Spaniard became an incredibly popular figure at Old Trafford thanks to his unique ability on the pitch and kindness off it. 

We think you’ll agree, it’s amazing to see Juan back in our kit…

Mata left Old Trafford in 2022 and went on to win titles with Galatasaray in Turkey and Vissel Kobe in Japan. 

The 35-year-old is considering his next move in football and, to our delight, he is currently spreading the word about United in America. 

Juan arrived in San Diego earlier this week and spent Thursday in the community, speaking to the media, visiting a local YMCA centre, training with youngsters and even seeing the air base.
