#2 Juan Mata
'Who's the greatest player in the premier league? It's you Juan Juan juan its you Juan Juan...' A true gentleman, Juan Mata has established himself as a fan favourite since day one at both Chelsea and Manchester United and his contributions off the pitch have earned him a lot of respect from fans across the world. A world-class midfielder, who steps up whenever the team needs him, Mata has a great passing range, vision, link-up play, a deadly left foot, is great at free kicks and an attitude on the pitch that has the rival fans applauding.
Juan Mata has had a great career in the Premier League with both Chelsea and Manchester United, having won the FA-cup, Champions League, Europa League and the EFL Cup in his stints at London and Manchester. A World Cup winner in 2010, Mata has seen his stock fall in the recent years and it cost him a place in the Spanish squad that went to Russia. With Luis Enrique in charge, Mata will look to impress the boss for a spot in the squad.
At 30 years of age, Mata may well be getting past his prime. And while he can produce moments of magic, the fact that Mourinho has an overloaded midfield and his preference towards a physical style of play may see his game time reduced drastically. With a final big move still in his kitty, Mata should vacate his place at the club. He should either go for newer pastures in Europe or return home to a club in Spain, where his skills and attributes will be valued and the gametime in return would give him a shot at a spot in the national squad.
