    It'll be his first game at Stamford Bridge since joining United last year, i hope he gets a good reception from your fans.

    The reception will be ok. But ultimately he's playing for a rival in a big game, I don't think he'll be cheered like say Drogba or Lampard were as he's not a legend.

    I hope he gets a great reception. I loved that little maestro. Even met him in regents park and he was so friendly. He was our fans player of the year twice and he only left cause mourinho didn't want him (i.e. we pushed him out). Cult hero in my book

    Yeah cant see him getting any real stick.
    He left amicably and was a decent enough guy.
    It was Jose who decided to get rid and not the other way around.

    Mata, great player for Chelsea goal maker and scorer of quality goals. Sadly going to a team with 32 midfielders has stifled all his creative talents and would no longer get a place at Chelsea.

    Queenie, there's no doubt that you facking lavv Chelsea but there's also no doubt that when you're watching a game of football you have absolutely no idea what's going on, it's all a mystery to you (penalty on the halfway line anyone?!)! It's just 11 guys for you to support, another 11 for you to hurl abuse at. You must miss the good old days!

    Poor Mata Jose didn;t want him vGaal didn;t want him, lucky for him vG was forced to play him when Dive Maria got banned. so lucky for Mata and you lot that van Gaal lucked into being forced to play a player he was going to ship out this summer.

    Mourinho offloaded Mata because he's talented and doesn't fit his profile of the type of footballer needed to grind out a title win - so he's something to prove.

    And I'm hoping he'll prove it.

    Mata has nothing to prove, he's a quality player, it just speaks for van Gaal who was going to get rid of him till he was forced to play him when that Argentinian dive fest got banned. All ofa sudden he's an important player for lucky Louis. Mata is by far United's best attacking player which says a lot for their transfer policy under van Gaal, Moyes signings have been crucial to their recovery, goes to show... htey sacked him too soon

    How often do you speak to LvG, is it regular face to face or just a couple of times a month on the phone?

    Mata will get a very good reception. Fans know he was a great player, twice fans player of the year, and maybe if the Manager was more flexible, it would be 3.
    Jose has got the job done, Mata is now one of Utds best, and am sure the Fans will see it that way. Unless he scores. No even if he scores, he won't rub it in.

    Who?

    Nah seriously, he'll get a great reception. Not only class on the field but off it too, which is quite a rarity these days.
