Manchester United's forgotten man deserved a better swan song at Old Trafford

By -

 Juan Mata has hardly played for Man United this season as his time at Old Trafford comes towards the end.



The eight-year anniversary of Juan Mata's arrival at Manchester United just recently passed but you'd be forgiven for forgetting he is still at the club.

Only David de Gea and Phil Jones have been in the United first-team longer than Mata, yet even the injury-ravaged Jones - who had spent two years on the sidelines - has played more minutes in the Premier League than him this season.


That's not particularly hard as even this journalist has played the same amount of minutes in England's top division in the current campaign as one of its most talented playmakers ever: precisely zero.


It's quite sad to see. Well, sad not to see, rather. A player of Mata's immense quality and such a great servant to United deserves a much better final swan song.

GRACE IN THE NAME OF JESUS Acts 3:1-9

MEMORY VERSE         Mark 16:17. The name of Jesus is full of grace. An infinite grace of Jesus sustains the church on Earth Today. Peter and John were full of grace. They grew big in the habit of true worship and taking to every thing on time. Here thy have abundant Grace found in the name of Jesus.  The dominion of grace came upon a certain man who was lame from his mothers womb, before he was born. The young man had no knowledge of the message, and grace of salvation. He only knew the system to beg. Here he expect, Peter and John at the beautiful gate to give him something, little knowing knowing that the grace of our Lord is supreme. The grace is a mighty healer. Whosoever holds fast the grace of salvation, whereby he receives on the day of holy turn round is blessed with the power to bless children of this sinful world who is ignorance of the salvation and deliverance found in Jesus Name. Do not let go your spiritual zeal, dynamo and pleasure of righteo...

(Video) Everton midfielder spotted throwing punch at Fred as VAR misses exchange

 Manchester United’s early kick-off on Saturday afternoon against Everton saw both sides involved in a fierce exchange during the game’s first half. Midfielder Scott McTominay tried to pick up full-back Lucas Digne after the Frenchman appeared to be injured on the floor, which sparked outrage among both sides. Although the scenes that proceeded appeared to be blown out of proportion, upon closer inspection, it has become clear that Toffees’ midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure threw more than one punch at United’s Fred. Despite VAR taking a look at the events, the officiating system failed to detect any wrongdoing. Lucky – very lucky indeed.

(Video) Andros Townsend does the ‘Siiuuuuuu’ celebration after scoring against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Man United

 Andros Townsend has scored to draw Everton level with Manchester United at Old Trafford – and he’s only gone and done the trademark Cristiano Ronaldo celebration. Everton trailed in the contest after a first-half goal from Anthony Martial, who was only starting in the game as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gave Cristiano Ronaldo the opportunity to rest. As we headed towards the hour mark, Ronaldo was introduced and Martial hauled off, which set the stage for Andros Townsend to have his moment in front of THE big man at Old Trafford. After some quite superb work from Demarai Gray, Abdoulaye Doucouré threaded a smart ball to send Townsend one-on-one with David De Gea.
