I remember one anecdote with the Spaniard. It was on the 12th October 2010. The young Spanish team were in Varazdin, Croatia won 3-0. Rakitic lost his teeth.
There was a Spanish journalist who was with Mata and [Bojan] Krkic who had arranged an exclusive interview [ahead of the upcoming match] between Barcelona and Valencia, which was set for a few days later at the Nou Camp.
Then, when Mata came out of the locker room, a reporter gave him a red shirt, which Mata gave to his mother to put in his bag.
It seemed to me that it was an Eric Cantona, Manchester United shirt, but I wanted to check with Juan.
‘I saw that you put in the bag jersey. Is that a Manchester United shirt?’, I asked the Spaniard.
Mata laughed and replied: ‘Yes, this is United’s jersey. I’m a huge fan.’
At the time, the Spanish midfielder excelled in Valencia, and was one of the best young midfielders in Europe. ‘I hope that one day I will play at Old Trafford’, added Mata.
From his words I saw how much he loved United, and how he wished to join the Red Devils.
