Happy Birthday Juan Mata!

In  1988, April 28th somebody was born somewhere in Spain. In January 2014 he gave up the boring blue for the dynamite red! He is Juan Mata Garcia.

Happy 26 Juan. Looking forward to many more games like the past four...

And here are some adorable photos of young Juan. And in case any of you have been wondering (or was it just me?) how many times a week he fixes his eyebrows, rest assured that those perfections are 100% original!



Some hands were made to lift trophies!



Well....

Mata's BFF/bro sent this super sweet tweet;

Happy birthday bro @JuanMata8 It's a pleasure to share the day to day life with you!!

And finished with this photo;

With Liverpool's Jamie Carragher. Carragher went pro in 1996 and retired in 2013 at the age of 35. Giggs started in 1991 and just made a man of the match contender performance two days before his 40th birthday.

Happy 40th Mr. Manchester

Today, our favorite player/coach/uncle is turning 40. Rooney has said all he can and doesn't know what else to say about Giggs while Moyes thinks with the way Giggs is playing, he will stop playing him when Giggs himself says he DOESN'T want to play anymore.

He is Mr. Manchester and that title is as hard to carry and even harder to earn. He did a lot, but this moment here, I just can't put words to it. This was the moment.

Or, just watch (for a millionth time I assume) it  here

We make sacrifices for people we love the most. Sometimes we do things that nobody else understands, all in the name of love. Here are two photos Giggs posed for Manchester United, if a man doing this for a club doesn't earn him the 'Mr. Manchester' title, then I don't know what will!





Thank you Giggs. Looking forward to another .... (Nobody knows how many) years with you in a red and white shirt.

A devil was born: Fellaini and Smalling
