While he sat on Chelsea's substitutes' bench this season, Juan Mata could see his chances of playing for Spain at the World Cup slip away. That was one of the key reasons Mata pressed for a move from Chelsea once Manchester United showed interest in signing him. ''It was really important,'' said Mata, who completed his 37.1 million pound ($61.2 million) switch to United on Saturday. I don't know what would have happened if I had stayed at Chelsea.'' The likelihood was Mata would have remained on the bench behind Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's preferred attacking trio of Eden Hazard, Oscar and Willian.
