Manchester United star Juan Mata proved he’s a turf and surf kind of guy as he demonstrated his paddle boarding prowess in Los Angeles. The 30-year-old midfielder and fellow players Ander Herrera and Scott McTominay took time off the pitch during the team’s USA summer tour to attend an event in collaboration with Parley For The Oceans and Adidas to raise awareness about the threat of ocean plastic to the environment. The event — which took place in a boat docked in the harbor in Los Angele’s beachside community Marina Del Rey on July 27 — featured talks by the Founder of Parley for the Oceans, Cyrill Gutsch, Parley and Adidas staff members and Big Wave Surfer & Parley Ambassador Greg Long.

The event also saw the United stars enjoy what the ocean has to offer as they took to the water to try their hands at paddle boarding, guided by Big Wave Surfer Greg Long. Mata said: “When Adidas first introduced the Manchester United jersey Parley Ocean Plastic® I was unaware of the scale of the issue. Fans worldwide should know that this jersey is one step in the right direction, but we still have loads to do.” Ander Herrera added: “By taking time to understand the problem, we hope that we can use our influence to help educate the world to the scale of the issue and although we can all do more and we must, this initiative is a step in the right direction.” And Scott McTominay said: “It’s great to be part of the Parley relationship and for our kit to use Parley Ocean Plastic®, however, I also believe that we all need to do more. I’ve been shocked into doing more personally and everyone should also look at steps they can take to help this situation.” Cyrill Gutsch, Founder of Parley for the Oceans said: "Winning Manchester United as Parley supporters is like adding eighteen thousands times the size of the British Roy
