VIDEO: Juan Mata keeps Man United team bus waiting so he can greet a disabled fan

Tony Cuddihy

He is just a really good person.

When Juan Mata spotted a young Manchester United fan in a wheelchair on Saturday, Alex Nield, he broke off from the queue for the team bus and ran over to spend some time with the young supporter.

The Spaniard has a reputation as one of the warmest, and friendliest, players in the Premier League and he shows it here – embracing Alex a number of times and even organising tickets for Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Stoke.

A lovely gesture.
