    Juan Mata on Wayne Rooney: "I can't wait to play alongside him. For me he's one of the best players in the history of this country. He's a striker who can score, assist and come into midfield to take the ball. I will enjoy it.

    "For me he's an unbelievable player and I will try to connect with him as much as possible and find the gaps in rival defences. I think that's my best style of play, to get into positions where I can assist the strikers."

    Juan Mata: "This was important for the World Cup. The Spanish squad is difficult to get into with a lot of players fighting for positions. So I hope it's going to be a great opportunity for me to show the manager of the national team I want to be there and have to be there.

    "Now the moment is here, I want to play as much as I can and if things go good in the last part of the season the World Cup will be closer for me."

This is the image I have of Man Utd, always fighting for titles and always coming back from difficult moments."
