Coming into the new year, Manchester United were looking for top quality players desperately as the team was in disaster.
For the first time in years, a team that always fights for the premier league title was struggling to even qualify for fourth spot.
What is more humiliating is that the Red Devils are facing all the dilemmas being the English champions and needed to make a statement of intent which they did.
David Moyes splashed club record 37 million pounds to sign Spanish international Juan Mata from rivals Chelsea.
No one was really expecting Mourinho to sell one of his prized assets especially in the same league but United pulled of a miracle to lure him.
Without a shadow of a doubt, with Mata, Manchester United secured the signing of the winter transfer window as he is truly a world class player.
Over the past 2.5 years when the former Valencia man joined the English league, he has created more goal scoring opportunities than all the United players.
Moreover, in that period, Mata is only second to compatriot David Silva when it comes to providing assists in the premier league.
Although, United did need more reinforcements in January in several departments but still the signing of Mata has lifted the mood.
The Red Devils supporters will be hoping that Mata will step up and turn the season around for the English Champions.

We expected more signings but Moyes disappointed us. Juan Mata is not enough for MAN UTD to be able to compete in Champions league.
To me Moyes does not want Man U to exccel that is why he refused to sign player for us. It will be a sorry matter for Man United if they lost their position in top four. We fans should wake up now before it will too late because Moyes is ready to destroy the team
