West Ham United v Manchester United - Premier League
Mata has studied Sports Science back in Madrid

An extremely underrated forward and an occasional number 10, the Spanish menace has had a very tough time with his current Manchester United side. His major breakthrough was when he joined Chelsea back in 2011, winning the UEFA Champion's League in his debut season and playing a very important role for the blues. His short stature accentuates his dribbling and playmaking abilities.

However, the Manchester United playmaker’s abilities stretch beyond the pitch, as the 30-year-old has actually taken up a degree in Sports Science and Finance at the University Camilo Jose Cela in Madrid.
