Red Devils star: I want to stay at Manchester United and win titles



Juan Mata insists he is happy at Manchester United



JUAN MATA insists he is happy at Manchester United.

 

The Spaniard has been in impressive form for the Red Devils this season with four goals and three assists to his name.

Mata completed a £37.1million move to Old Trafford in January 2014 from Premier League rivals Chelsea.

And Mata insists that playing under Louis van Gaal has given him a new feeling of confidence in his ability.

"I think the key is to feel the confidence of your manager and the confidence of your team-mates and to feel important," he told Goal.com.

 

"Everyone wants to feel important wherever they are and right now I feel I am a very important player within the club.

"I am happy with the fans, with the club, with everyone. I'm enjoying the moment and I think that helps you to play better football and to perform better."

The 27-year-old is adamant that he wants to stay at United and believes his side are back on track to be challenging for titles following a difficult spell.

"At the moment I am very comfortable in England," he added. "Obviously, Spain is my home and I have everything here - family, friends - but I'm very happy in England, with the way of life we have and with English football. 

 

Mata has scored four goals and made three assists for United this season

"I would recommend any player to go and spend at least a year in England so, in the short term, I'm not thinking about going back, just about enjoying my time with Manchester United to the full.

"At Manchester United we are returning to a situation where we need to be: fighting for titles. When I was little I always remember Manchester United celebrating titles, winning and fighting for them all - and we want to restore the team to that level.

"I'm in a very good moment. I feel like an important player, I have a good relationship with the manager, with my team-mates, I'm enjoying what it means to play for Manchester United.

"I'm performing well and back in the national team, so I can't complain - I'm very happy -but I can play better and hopefully the best years of my career are still to come."
