Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata admits their draw at Stoke City left him "bitter".

Mata has revealed how “bitter" and “mad" he feels after his performance at Stoke.

Speaking on his blog, Mata opened up on his feelings after the weekend: “The game left me with a bitter taste.

“Firstly, we didn't win. We created chances to get the three points and it makes us mad to see that the ball just doesn't go in. It's especially frustrating when you are so unlucky as to score an own goal, when you're trying precisely to avoid that.

"Personally, I don't remember when was the last time that I scored an own goal, in fact I believe this is the first one.

“I know it goes with the territory. You're trying to stop the cross, the ball gets deflected on your leg, then again on the goalkeeper and it's a goal.

“It happens every week, this is part of the game, but when it happens to you it hurts."
