Juan Mata hits back at Jose Mourinho criticism

Now Mata has responded to the comments in a an interview with The Times. "If a luxury player is a player who scores and assists and has good stats, then I'm happy to be a luxury player. "I want luxury players in my team. I like creative players and players who do different things. It's easy to say certain players are luxuries, especially when you've lost a game. "When you lose a certain kind of player - the creative players - always get the blame. "I've scored as many goals for Manchester United in the Premier League as for Chelsea, but in something like 30 games less. "In terms of scoring and assisting and I'm quite happy with the states, and stats don't lie. They are facts."
