Man Utd boss Moyes praises Woodward for getting Mata deal done

Manchester United boss David Moyes couldn't hide his delight with the capture of former Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata.

United have paid Chelsea a massive £37.1 million for the Spain midfielder.

"I am thrilled, I got wind a month or two ago it could be possible, but I never thought we would pull it off.

"When we got the sniff there was a chance Juan could be available we went after it right away. Congratulations to the club and (executive vice-chairman) Ed Woodward for getting the deal done."

The Scot added: "There will be more players like Juan in the future, I've no doubt about that."
