Addressing Jesse Lingard, Mata wrote: "To my friend Jesse, keep that positive vibe on and off the pitch!"

Writing to Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Mata said: "I've never seen anyone tackle as good as you do! You've started so well for us. Keep going and enjoy the journey!"

To Daniel James, Mata wrote: "What a great start for us you had! Keep going. You will be a great success! You are a great guy!" while Victor Lindelof received a message that said: "To my friend Victor, 'Iceman', my centre-back. Thanks for finding those great passes to me on the pitch and for being such a good guy. I love Sweden!"
