Juan Mata has claimed that March will be a massive month for Manchester United. After playing just twice since February 12, United will face West Brom on Saturday in the first of some key fixtures for the club.
David Moyes’ side will then play Liverpool, Olympiakos and Manchester City at Old Trafford in the space of just 9 days. These games could end up determining whether United will be able to make anything of their disapointing season and Mata does not need reminding how big these games are.
Writing in his club blog he said: “A thrilling month is starting with five Premier games against important rivals such as Liverpool or Manchester City. We do know it is a crucial month to climb up positions on the league table and we are going to give our best to try and win every single match.”
Mata didn’t take part in Man United’s game against Olympiakos last week and he is adamant that his team-mates can turn the tie around and progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. He said:
“After last weekend’s win against Crystal Palace, we could not win in the Champions League, suffering a painful loss in Greece. Moreover, as I can’t play in the Champions League I had to watch the match at home and suffered as I couldn’t help.
“Nevertheless, although it’ll be difficult, I think we can come back at Old Trafford with an incredible atmosphere thanks to our fans.”
