Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te rā o te Tau Hou i te tau kua hipa, ka pakaru a Juan Mata i muri i tana whakakapinga e te kaiwhakahaere o Chelsea a Jose Mourinho i Southampton. I whakapau kaha ia ki te kore e urupare, ā, i runga i tōna āhua, kāore i reira he pounamu wai, engari i kitea te pouri o ia ahakoa ngā mahi whakamarietanga a Michael Essien i muri i a ia. Ka tere haere 16 marama, ā, he momo whakakapi kē i te meneti 81 o te whakataetae Manchester o te Rātapu kua hipa. Whai muri i tana whiwhinga me tana whakaaweawe i a United ki te wikitoria 4-2, ka whiwhi ia i te tu tu me te pat i runga i te tuara mai i a Ryan Giggs. Ka tahuri atu te kaitakawaenga o Manchester United a Juan Mata ki te whakanui i muri i tana whiwhinga ki a Manchester City. I eke a Mata ki te whāinga tuatoru o United i te wikitoria 4-2 i runga i o rātau hoariri kino i Old Trafford i te wiki kua hipa. He ahua pouri a Mata i muri i tana whakakapinga e te kaiwhakahaere o Chelsea a Jose Mourinho i te tau kua hipa i Stamford Bridge. Ahakoa he tangata rongonui ia i Chelsea, kaore i taea e Mata te akiaki i a Mourinho kia mau tonu ia. Ko Louis van Gaal te mea pai rawa atu o Juan Mata. I roto i ana kēmu e rima whakamutunga, kua pai ake te mahi a te Spaniard i a ia i te Pirimia Pirimia:. Kei te mahi a Mata i te tihi o ona mana. Kāore ia i te miharo ki te hurihanga o tōna ake, o te kapa hoki, i te wa i tīmata ai ia i te wa e whakapono ana ka taea e United te wikitoria i te riiki i tēnei tau, me te kore o ngā whakataunga Pākehā. I korero ia ki a Sportsmail i te marama o Mei o te tau kua hipa: 'Ki te tango tatou i a Liverpool hei tauira kei reira he kapa kei a koe kua whawhai tonu ki te mutunga me te kore o te Champions League.' I whakahaweatia ia mo te whakaaro pai engari ki te patua e United a Chelsea i Stamford Bridge e rima noa iho nga tohu kei muri i nga kaiarahi. I a David Moyes e kaiwhakahaere ana, ko ia me tana kaiawhina a Phil Neville i tirotirohia a Europi mo te 'kaitākaro momo-Mata' i whakapono ratou e hiahiatia ana e te roopu i mua i te maarama o United ka taea te tiki i te mea pono. I te taenga mai o Louis van Gaal, kotahi te taahiraa o Mata ki mua, e rua hoki ki muri. Ko te whakatikatika wawe i te nuinga o nga wa ko te tikanga i takaro ia i tana tuunga pai i muri i te tokorua o mua, engari ko te tokotoru...
Ahakoa tona tūnga rite te tino-hoa i roto i ona wa tuatahi e rua i Chelsea, kihai i taea e Juan Mata mahi nui ki te whakamīharo Jose Mourinho. I hokona a Mata ki Manchester United i te marama o Hanuere 2014 mo te utu £ 37m. I roa te wā i noho ai te kaitakawaenga ki Old Trafford engari ināianei kua noho ia. Ka haere atu a United ki Chelsea i te Pirimia Pirimia i te Rāhoroi.
