Manchester United face a struggling West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on Sunday, and Red Devils fans want Juan Mata to be handed a rare start in the No 10 role.

Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho has favoured the 4-2-3-1 and 3-4-1-2 formation in recent weeks, with Jesse Lingard often getting the nod for the central attacking midfield role in both systems.

Mata started out wide in the 1-0 win against Bournemouth at Old Trafford during the week and set up Romelu Lukaku's goal with a fine cross, but the Spaniard may feel that he could have a bigger impact in the centre considering that is where he has spent the majority of his playing career.

Man United supporters were quick to have their say on the 29-year-old via social media, and while one said "Mata deserves a run in the No 10 role", another said 'he should start there for his creativity'.

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
