The former Red Devils defender believes the Spanish playmaker has become "a very important player" when it comes to linking midfield and attack
Juan Mata has emerged as “a very important player” at Manchester United, says Gary Neville, with the Spaniard capable of being the “glue” which holds Jose Mourinho’s side together.
The Red Devils have enjoyed a productive 2017-18 campaign, but they have not always been as consistent as they would like.
Mourinho has also faced accusations of being overly defensive at times, with United considered to place too much emphasis on keeping things tight and not enough on working through the lines.
