Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata is enjoying life in the Northwest.
Mata has made sure to get out and see the region's landmarks.
"I just like everything about the lifestyle I have here. It's very relaxing. I have been to lots of different parts of the city and have also been to other places like Chester and the Lake District which were very nice. I'm enjoying finding out more about England because the north is different to the south."
