Signed Photograph Juan Mata – Manchester United #8 Action Jersey – Premier League 2015/2016 – COA Included

Signed photo of Juan Mata: the Spanish talent in action at Old Trafford in a Manchester United shirt

A colour photograph depicting Juan Mata in full action on a Premier League pitch: the Spanish midfielder advances with the yellow and orange Nike Strike ball — an unmistakable symbol of the 2015/2016 season — wearing the red Adidas Manchester United shirt, number 8, with Chevrolet sponsor and Barclays Premier League patch on the sleeve. The background with the Old Trafford lights on a league night captures all the atmosphere of the 'Theatre of Dreams' that Mata graced with elegance and consistency for several years. The dimensions of 16x13 cm make it a compact and visually striking piece. Juan Mata's original autograph is placed in black marker in the centre of the image, large, clear, and perfectly legible. Excellent condition, impeccable preservation.

The champion: Juan Mata

Juan Manuel Mata García (Burgos, 28 April 1988) is one of the most technical and appreciated Spanish midfielders of his generation. With the Spanish national team, he won the World Cup in 2010 in South Africa and the European Championship in 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, playing a starring role in the most extraordinary golden age of Iberian football in history. In his career, he has played for Valencia, Chelsea — with whom he won the Champions League in 2012 and the Europa League in 2013 — Manchester United, and Galatasaray, building a high-level career in major European leagues. A midfielder with refined technique, superb vision, and extraordinary assisting ability, Mata is remembered as one of the most elegant interpreters of his role in the 2000s and 2010s.

What is an original signed photograph?

An original signed photograph is a unique historical document where the protagonist's signature has been directly affixed to the print in certified presence, without intermediaries. It differs from printed reproductions or facsimiles by precise and verifiable elements: the natural and irregular pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the photographic surface, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In the case of action photographs from matches — among the most sought-after images by collectors — the collecting value is amplified by the rarity of the original shot and the uniqueness of the represented sporting moment. In addition to these elements, the free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and the COA included in the price provide internationally recognized protection.
