Michael Carrick has dubbed Manchester United teammate Juan Mata a "little magician".
The former Chelsea man put pen to paper on a then club-record deal worth £37.1million on 25 January 2014 and Carrick believes his acquisition has been an important one for the United.
"He's just a little magician, isn't he? So clever and with so much ability - he's a pleasure to watch," Carrick told MUTV. "Playing against him over the years, I knew how good he was and we see it in training every day; some of the things he does really stand out.
"That left foot of his can open up any defence and, despite having such a slight physique, he's a terrific player."
