Mata Hails De Gea Achievement

Every Monday, Juan Mata posts his weekly blog, offering insight into his thoughts on what’s been happening on and off the pitch…

As I wrote last week, the team was ready to work hard and keep going in order to overcome our tough start. That sacrifice was shown against West Ham and the three points make us look at the table in a different way now.

Once again, the support of Old Trafford was a big help. Our goal now is to become more consistent and to keep working on our football style to add more points. The more we enjoy on the pitch, the more we will make you enjoy our games. The team aims to keep growing throughout the entire season and we are sticking together to achieve that.

It was a special day for David De Gea, who has reached 100 Premier League games. He is one of the most skilled goalkeepers I’ve ever seen so I know you will play many more than 100, my friend.

It was also unforgettable for Paddy McNair. Making a debut with Manchester United at Old Trafford being just 19 is amazing, and I am sure he will always remember this day. It’s good for the young players to see that they can fit in the first team. It has always happened in this club and it’s a good tradition to keep. In my opinion, Paddy has a bright future ahead.

We are already thinking about the match against Everton next Sunday. Last season we couldn’t win, but I believe it will be different this time and we will be able to get the three points in our stadium.

Have a nice week. I hope you start next Monday in a good mood as well. Thank you all!

Hugs,
Juan
