PICTURE STAT: Comparing Oscar And Mata Since 2014

Manchester United playmaker Juan Mata has been in fine form in the second-half of the season, meanwhile his former Chelsea team-mate Oscar has failed to impress this term.

This has led to the question: did Jose Mourinho sell the wrong Blues midfielder? Juan Mata has shone in a Manchester United shirt in recent weeks, as the Spaniard has finally begun to show just why the Red Devils parted with £37.1m to secure his signature, and that he can have a leading role at Old Trafford.


Oscar, on the other hand, has stuttered this season with his impact having become so little that his presence on the field is almost forgotten – despite registering a very respectable seven assists this term

Mata’s influence, however, has not been unnoticeable recently; the playmaker netted against Manchester City and grabbed a double over rivals Liverpool – including a stunning overhead kick at Anfield. His performances are suggesting that the confidence he played with at Chelsea is returning to his game.

Oulala have released this comparative graphic of the two playmakers showing their impact since January 2014 – when Mata made the move to Manchester United.

The graphic suggests that Jose Mourinho may have sold the wrong Chelsea player – the Spain international has outperformed Oscar in all eight of the key criteria since leaving Stamford Bridge.
