Juan Mata started Jose Mourinho's first match with Manchester United and scored the opening goal.

Mourinho insists Mata has a future with United despite being frozen out and eventually sold by the manager with Chelsea.

"One thing is the stories people write. The other thing is the reality," Mourinho told Sky Sports. "Seeing what happened in our previous club, people thought he had no future. It is completely different.

"I trust him. Every time he plays, I know what he can give and I know what he cannot give. He has a lot to give."
