Mata Faces Time Out After Surgery

Juan Mata has joined several of his Manchester United team-mates on the sidelines following an operation.

A club statement confirmed on Friday evening: "Juan has had surgery for a groin injury. Further updates on his recovery will follow in due course."

United manager Jose Mourinho had previously ruled out three injured players for Saturday's Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion - Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Paul Pogba - while Ander Herrera and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are both suspended.
