Juan Mata revealed assist to Henrikh Mkhitaryan was the most special in his life (VIDEO)

Manchester United star Juan Mata has told the story of his life in an interview with Players Tribune and revealed his assist to ex-teammate Henrikh Mkhitaryan was the most special one in his career. “My grandfather — who had still never missed a professional match of mine — was really sick. I remember FaceTiming with him when I was on the bus after we had beaten Saint-Etienne 1–0 in France in a Europa League match. His voice was weak … I could tell that he was struggling. His words came out slowly, but he told me that my assist to Henrikh Mkhitaryan during that match had been great,” Mata has said. “That was probably the most special assist of my life. Because it was the last one my grandfather ever saw. A few days later, he passed away.” Read the full interview here.
