The Manchester United goalkeeper dug out an old picture of his fellow Spaniard on his special day, and didn't shy away from taking aim at Mata's former club as he did so

David De Gea has been waiting for five months to get his revenge on Juan Mata, but in the end he just made him look a bit like a character from Avatar.
A day after keeping a clean sheet in the Manchester derby, the Manchester United goalkeeper's thoughts were clearly with his injured compatriot - who is celebrating his 29th birthday on Friday.
Back in November, Mata wished De Gea a happy birthday by sharing a picture of the stopper as a fresh-faced youth , but his mate clearly had something else in mind for when he returned the favour. He also wanted to have a dig at his former club, too.
De Gea managed to get hold of a 2013 picture of Mata - who was then at Chelsea - covered in blue paint as part of a Blues kit launch.
And he left his 7.12 million followers in no doubt as to where his loyalties lie now by claiming "Definitely red suits you better! Happy birthday my friend."
Shots fired? Not quite, but the tweet did go down well with United fans, and was retweeted over 1,000 times within half an hour.
We await what Mata will respond with when De Gea turns 27 in November...
