Manchester United kick-started their Champions League campaign with a superb come-from-behind victory at home to Wolfsburg. Juan Mata was the star of the show, scoring from the penalty spot before laying on an outstanding assist for Chris Smalling.
The Spaniard has certainly found a way to adapt to Louis van Gaal’s system and he has made a fantastic start to the season under the Dutchman, despite not having an awful lot of pace.
This is certainly one of the best assists you are likely to ever see, as he cleverly hooked the ball into the danger zone with the outside of his boot wonderfully.
As you’d expect, Twitter was in overdrive with Manchester United fans full of praise for the attacking midfielder. Check them out below.
Mata has played beautifully throughout. Combined well, maintained tempo, won and scored penalty, and *that* assist. Complete performance.
