Manchester United's Juan Mata dazzles with viral play against CSKA Moscow
Last Tuesday, Manchester United faced some difficulties to secure a victory against CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford in the Champions League. With the 2-1 result, José Mourinho's team advanced to the round of 16, but there was also talk about a tremendous play that went viral on YouTube. Who was the protagonist? Juan Mata.
When the 'Red Devils' needed it the most in the second half after conceding a 1-0 goal, former Chelsea player Juan Mata had a masterful action in which he combined with Marcus Rashford.
First, Mata passed the ball to Rashford, who quickly returned it with a light touch. Faced with an opponent, the Spanish lefty pulled off a 'Neymar move' to shake off his marker, and he did the same when another opponent came his way. The play has already garnered thousands of views on YouTube.
On the other hand, this weekend Juan Mata and his teammates will face City in the city derby for the Premier League. If they lose, they would practically say goodbye to their chances of winning the local tournament.
