Chelsea and United fans on Twitter react to Mata substitution

Many Chelsea fans on Twitter are keeping their fingers crossed that Juan Mata might return to Stamford Bridge, after he was brought on and then taken off again during Manchester United’s Community Shield victory.

Mata, a two-time Chelsea player of the year, left the club in January 2014 after being deemed surplus to requirements by then Blues boss Jose Mourinho – now in charge at United.

Mourinho explained he replaced Mata in the closing moments of Sunday’s win over Leicester, 30 minutes after bringing him on, because he “needed to take off the smallest player” – but Chelsea fans were unconvinced.

However, United fans are less convinced that Mourinho is trying to force Mata out of another club.
