Juan Mata Had to Explain He Was Cup-Tied to Manchester United Fans Blaming Moyes
David Moyes led Manchester United to a 3-0 victory over Olympiakos in Wednesday night's Champions League clash, ensuring that the Red Devils booked a place in the quarter-finals, but the Scot was already being blamed before the match for not selecting Juan Mata.
Leaving out the Spaniard, of course, was not unreasonable given that he was cup-tied and therefore wholly ineligible to playโsomething that he had to explain to fans himself online during the evening:
"I'm cup tied so won't be able to play tonight... But i will be in Old Trafford supporting my teammates! We can do it! @ManUtd
