Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata insists a busy April will be no excuse for poor results.

United have a jam-packed fixture list starting on Saturday when they host West Brom in the Premier League.

He said: "West Bromwich Albion, Everton, Sunderland, Anderlecht, Chelsea, Burnley, Manchester City and Swansea.

"It's not a random list of teams, it's the list of the eight teams we're going to face in a frantic month of April.

"Since we have to play twice against Anderlecht (first and second leg), it makes a total of nine games for us the next month!

"It's not a complaint, it's just a reality and we have to adapt ourselves to it, in order to give the best we have in the decisive spell of the season.

"I see these games as a challenge to show all the good things we've been working on throughout the season, and I hope that we can get good results too."
