Juan Mata has proved the hardest working player at Manchester United this season.

Interestingly, Marouane Fellaini makes the top three with skipper Wayne Rooney down in sixth place.

It was claimed Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was happy to sell Mata last January due to his poor work-rate. But today's stats prove that theory false.
