#1 Juan Mata
Juan Mata is one of the most creative midfielders in the Premier League at the moment. He won almost everything at Chelsea before joining Manchester United the season following Sir Alex Ferguson's departure.

At the time of David Moyes, United lacked any creativity going forward. The arrival of Mata gave the team a much-needed boost in the midfield, but still, they could not finish in the top four. Mata became an essential part of the squad under Louis Van Gaal and formed a formidable partnership with Wayne Rooney in the midfield.
Since Jose arrived, history seemed to be repeating itself. The Portuguese prefers to play with pace down the flanks which contradicts with Mata's qualities, which make him suited for playing in the no.10 position.
Mourinho doesn't have a left-footed right winger in the team which has forced him to play Mata in that position where he is not comfortable. As a result, he prefers Rashford or Lingard down the wings in a 4-3-3 formation.
Mourinho should try to accommodate Mata in the team even if it means reverting to his traditional 4-2-3-1 formation.
