Mata offers honest assessment of Man Utd’s ‘very disappointing’ & ‘painful’ season

The Spaniard admits there needs to be “honest reflection” at Old Trafford at the end of a campaign that proved hugely frustrating for all concerned

Juan Mata admits the 2018-19 campaign was “very disappointing” for Manchester United, with the Red Devils needing “honest reflection” as they try to piece together plans for a positive response.

The Red Devils headed into the season under the guidance of Jose Mourinho looking to build on a runners-up finish in the Premier League from the previous year.

They were, however, to stumble out of the blocks and were forced into a managerial change by December that brought Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back to the club.
