Juan Mata doesn’t seem like the pitchfork wielding, maniac type to us.

But, due to the power of Photoshop, we now know how it’d look if the Manchester United midfielder ruthlessly cut down footballers during games.

Mata and some of his teammates starred in a clip promoting the United’s new home kit. Titled “Break Expectations”, United players wielded red pitchforks, in homage to the club’s Red Devil’s nickname, and smashed some glass.

The image of Mata yielding the weapon has sparked the creative juices amongst some fans, who’ve created some funny images.
