Can't help feeling that they are signing him simply because he is available rather than as part of any coherent long-term strategy. United and Everton teams have been characterised by their high work rate. As I understand it, Mata is being allowed to leave because his work rate is not enough for Mourinho.
A short-term fix for which they are massively over-paying. They got lucky with Van Persie last season and may do so again but, longer term, on top of Fellaini's £28m this is taking care of a large part of their budget without addressing their most pressing problems
