Juan Mata's Blog

In his latest blog, Juan Mata welcomes Angel Di Maria and prospective new signing Daley Blind to Manchester United...

One more week and we still haven't been able to win our first Premier League game. As I said the other day this is not the best moment to write my blog, but you have to be there in the good and the bad times. We played at Burnley and we had the need to win the match but once again we just got one point.

We couldn't score despite we played practically in Burnley's half after the break. I couldn't finish the game as I got a cramp in the back of my leg, but according to the medical tests it is nothing to worry about. Of course I understand how disappointed our fans feel at the beginning of this season. The players are the first who want to change this situation and to start a good run of results, and I'm sure we will do it.

Things are not going the way we want, but every single one of us is trying his best on the pitch, trying to put in practice the work done in the training sessions, and that is how victories shall come, sooner than later. I know words don't win games but through them I can express what I feel: that I'm looking forward to play the next game to try to win it.

As you read this, many things are happening before the transfer window expires today. Here I would like to welcome Di Maria and Blind to the club. I am sure these two players will give a lot to us and will strengthen the team. We already know what Angel is capable of, his ability and dribbling skills, and Daley has a great touch and is very intelligent, as he showed during the World Cup.

I would also like to wish all the best to Shinji Kagawa, a fantastic player but especially a great person. It’s been a pleasure to be his team-mate and I'm sure both Borussia Dortmund and fans everywhere will enjoy his football again.
