Juan Mata has admitted he is still angry after Manchester
United completed a nightmare week with a 2-1 defeat to
Bournemouth on Saturday.
Junior Stanislas scored direct from a corner-kick before
Marouane Fellaini equalised for the visitors, but Joshua King
struck the winner for the Cherries in the second half.
That defeat came after United were knocked out of the
Champions League in the group stage following their 3-2
loss to Wolfsburg on Tuesday.
Mata was substituted during that game and put in another
disappointing showing at the weekend, and he said he was
far from happy with the last seven days.
Writing on his weekly blog, he said: "Writing is complicated
when all I really want now is to have another game to play
as soon as possible. But everything passes and this bad
streak will pass.
"When we were coming back from Bournemouth all I could
think about was the frustration of the defeat, the
disappointment of those who came with us, those who
watched the game on TV, those who were with us in
Germany... and the only thing to turn that anger into
happiness is through good results, not words.
"In these moments is when we have to stick together more
than ever, I do believe it, because - luckily - football gives
you another game every few days. We are aware that we
have to get better and that's why, despite feeling so bad
after a painful defeat, we have to stand up and keep working
to prepare the next game.
"With the right attitude and each of us giving the maximum
we will get out of this situation. This is a long season and
there's still a long way to go. We will never give up, that's
for sure. December is a difficult month and it's time to start
winning again and get our confidence back."
