The Western Sydney Wanderers: The Western Sydney Wanderers have secured the services of former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata on a one-year contract. The 36-year-old Spaniard, who has been a free agent since leaving Japanese team Vissel Kobe in January 2024, is set to bring a wealth of experience and talent to the A-League side.

The midfielder first captured the football world’s attention when he joined Chelsea in 2011 for 23.5 million Euros. His impact was immediate; he was named Chelsea’s Player of the Year in both of his full seasons at Stamford Bridge. During his time with the Blues, Mata was pivotal in securing the Champions League and FA Cup in 2012 and the Europa League in 2013. His flair and creativity made him a central figure in Chelsea’s successful campaign.

In 2014, Mata’s journey took him to Manchester United for a then-club record 37.1 million Euros. At Old Trafford, he continued to shine, contributing significantly to United’s triumphs in the 2016 FA Cup, 2017 EFL Cup, and the Europa League. With 51 goals in 285 appearances for the Red Devils, Mata’s influence on the pitch was undeniable.
