LONDON. — Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has backed Juan Mata to become an all-time great for the English Premier League soccer club.Mata’s arrival at Old Trafford has offered a boost to a United side struggling for confidence and form this season, with the Spain international signing from Chelsea for a club-record £37.1m during the January transfer window.
Giggs insists Mata has what it takes to make the grade at United and when asked if he could become a United great, the Welshman told MUTV: “I think he could be.
He’s obviously got the talent. I don’t want to put too much pressure on him but I don’t see why not.” Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Stoke on Saturday means United remain seventh in the table, seven points adrift of a Uefa Champions League place. — Sky Sports.
