Williams says Mata is the best Man United player he has played with

Despite all that, Williams believes that Juan Mata is the best footballer he has played with Old Trafford.

According to the Red Devils academy graduate, Mata was 'a magician' with the ball, with the Englishman also hailing the midfielder's qualities off the pitch.

"I'd probably say Juan Mata, because he's a magician on the ball," Williams told GOAL.
"He takes control of games in the way he plays. He's a good guy off the pitch as well - he speaks to us and he helps us," he added.

Mata spent close to eight years with the Red Devils, having joined them from Chelsea in 2014 before leaving in the summer.

Now at Galatasaray, the Spaniard has previously won the World Cup, Euros, Champions League, two FA Cups, two Europa Leagues and other honours during his career.
