MUTV And Mata Up For TV Sports Awards

We are delighted to announce that Manchester United's in-house broadcaster MUTV and the club's no.8 Juan Mata have both been nominated for a TV Sports Award.

MUTV has been nominated for the Best Sports Thematic Channel Award for its impressive output between 1 August 2016 and 1 August 2017, while the Spain international is up for the prestigious Play for Change Award for his Common Goal initiative.

MUTV is nominated alongside NBA TV and the Olympic Channel for the Best Sports Thematic Channel, which can only be voted for by media industry professionals.

The award aims to recognise the best channel or platform which dedicates itself to providing news and exclusive content about a specific sport.

Meanwhile, Mata's nomination sees him go up against the no.1 female tennis player in the world, Garbine Muguruza, for her efforts in support of Room to Read, and former England rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio for his work with his foundation - Dallaglio RugbyWorks.

The Play for Change Award is presented to a top-class athlete who has displayed an extraordinary social responsibility, supporting children and communities across the world. 

The winners will be announced at an award ceremony in Monte Carlo, Monaco, on Monday 23 October, and you can vote for Mata on the TV Sports Awards website.

The European Golden Boy 2017 will also be revealed at the same ceremony which Marcus Rashford and Tim Fosu-Mensah are among the nominees for.
