Mata Looking Forward To Arsenal Clash

Writing in his personal blog, United midfielder Juan Mata looks forward to the Reds' trip to face Arsenal...


This weekend was different due to the international break. There were no fixtures in the Premier League and that's why I'm already looking forward to our next match on Saturday.

I have good memories of my previous games against Arsenal; obviously they are a tough opponent, as they play very good football and they also leave you to play. The Emirates is a great stadium and I hope we have a nice game and bring back three points to keep moving up the table.

We've just had a few days off that help you to switch off both physically and mentally with a view to Christmas, the busiest period of the season when we play many games in a short time.

Of all the international games at the weekend I would like to highlight Spain's victory - obviously, I would love to go back with them - and also Wayne Rooney's 100th England cap. Only a few chosen ones can get that far and I’m sure he will play many more games, so here I congratulate him. You deserve it, Wayne.

Hugs to all and I hope to tell you good news next week following our trip to London.

Thank you for being there,

Juan.
