Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has shared his admiration for former teammate Juan Mata. The ex-United playmaker got his hands on silverware only 12 months after leaving Old Trafford when helping Galatasaray win the Super Lig trophy.
It was their first success in the competition since 2019 and the crowning moment came with a 4-1 victory over Ankaragucu on Tuesday night.
Spanish veteran Mata was an unused substitute in that game and has played a bit-part role in Turkey this season with three goals and one assist from 15 appearances, including only three starts.
However, the 35-year-old is still a popular figure at United after serving the club with distinction for eight-and-a-half years.
