Mata: United looking at an 'exciting month'
Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata says the 'Red Devils' face an "exciting month" of fixtures that they should take advantage of and boost confidence with a string of good results.
Jose Mourinho's side have faced pressure from the club's board and the media in recent weeks after several poor performances - particularly against West Ham in the Premier League - and now have the chance to put some form together with a run of intriguing fixtures after the international break.
First, United travel to Stamford Bridge to take on an in-form Chelsea side - Spanish midfielder Juan Mata spoke to 'Sky Sports' about the month ahead.
He remarked: "It is definitely a difficult month. We have very tough rivals in the Premier League and play Juventus in the Champions League.
"But, if we have good results, it could be a very good month, in terms of points, mindset and confidence. Let's see where we are in November and December.
"I think it is an exciting month ahead."
Focusing on Saturday's game with the 'Blues', Mata added: "I had very good memories from Stamford Bridge and from the fans. I was there for two and a half years, so before and after the game I see some friendly faces - but that goes away when you are on the pitch.
"Our aim is to change the negative run of results at Chelsea.
"We will try to be clinical in the chances we have, defend well and play with confidence.
"We have to believe we can win, we need that mentality in those important games."
