Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata says the 1-0 win over Aston Villa has given the players a welcome lift ahead of the Champions League play-off clash with Club Brugge.
Mata produced an inch-perfect pass for Adnan Januzaj to score the only goal at Villa Park on 29 minutes, as the Reds secured a first away win of the season, and a second consecutive Barclays Premier League victory.
The Spaniard received 50 per cent of the Man of the Match vote from fans on Twitter after the game, ahead of Chris Smalling (29 per cent) and Januzaj (21 per cent), and was delighted to play his part in the win.
"I feel happiness because we won," he told MUTV. "I think we can improve but six points from six points is a very good start for us and now we have a lot of confidence ahead of the Champions League play-off [on Tuesday].
