Mata Ready For Christmas Schedule

Hi everyone! Christmas is here. Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved this time of the year… And I still do, even if the way I spend Christmas since I came to England is different.

As you know, there is no break in the Premier League - this is the busiest month of the season, actually - so it’s a very important period of the year when you can win or lose a lot of points in just a few days. In fact, this week we play on Friday and Sunday.

Our goal is to finish the year in the best possible way: with two more victories. Against Aston Villa, we couldn’t get our seventh win in a row. It was a complicated game. They scored first, a great goal from Christian Benteke and didn’t leave much space for us to come back. We were able to tie the game thanks to Radamel Falcao’s header - I’m very happy for him, I think he deserved it because he works hard every day and, at the end of the game, despite Aston Villa playing with 10 men, we couldn’t score the second goal. Villa Park is a tough stadium for every team, although United must try to win always, in every place. We should have taken more advantage of those minutes after the red card, but they defended well and even tried the counter-attack.

Also in Christmas, I like to play and see the special atmosphere in the stadiums, particularly on Boxing Day when I’m sure Old Trafford will be full of kids. This is one of the most special games of the season and, no doubt, one of the symbols of the Premier League. We will try to have a great day by winning against Newcastle.

Hugs and thank you for always being there! Have a great festive season with the ones you love and Merry Christmas to all!
