Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has hailed popular teammate Juan Mata.
Mata is one of his closest friends in the squad.
"Football is about making the right decisions," said Herrera. "That's why Juan Mata is still playing and playing fantastically.
"And I always say to him, he's not the quickest, he's not the strongest, he doesn't have the best shot, but he makes the right decision always in every moment.
"One of the qualities [Mata] has [which] I realise watching some highlights is that when you see one of us shooting on goal, who is the one that is always ready for the rebound from the goalkeeper? Juan Mata.
"When you see one of our fullbacks crossing the ball, who is always in the right position on the pitch in the box? Juan Mata.
"When the team is struggling and we need an extra midfielder to come to play, who is there? Juan Mata."
