NEW PATH: Man Utd legend Juan Mata made a shocking return to football after 6 months of unemployment while working with the iconic Chelsea.
36-year-old player who used to play for Manchester United has not had a job since January, when he left Vissel Kobe.
At the time, he said he was not ready to hang up his boots.

It looks like Mata will be able to play again soon.
He was seen with Michael Essien, a former Chelsea teammate who is now the assistant boss at FC Nordsjaelland.
Matea, who is from Spain, has been training with the Danish team in order to get a deal.
Matea joined Vissel in September to help them win the J.League title.
He only played once, but he was there when they won the championship.
The great musician had a great time in Japan. He wrote on Instagram: “Thank you so much to everyone on my team and in Vissel Kobe for these amazing months.”
“It was a very interesting journey that ended in the best way possible—by making history by winning the league for the first time for our club.”
“Thank you for having me as a part of your family at such a memorable and important time!” There is only good things ahead for you!
“Of course, thank you so much to our fans. You are my favorite memory from these months, and I will always remember how much you love and respect me.” Amazing culture and amazing people. You have taught me a lot.
“I am excited to keep enjoying football somewhere else and hopefully keep winning trophies. Let the streak continue!”
Mata’s last job was as a commentator for BBC during England’s loss to Spain in the final of Euro 2024.
In the Premier League, he played 278 times for Chelsea and United.
