Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata admits the locker room has been hit hard by their double injury blow.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo have both been diagnosed with serious knee injuries.

Mata wrote in his blog: "The last few days have been very good in terms of results but those good feelings have been tarnished by Marcos and Zlatan injuries.

"These situations just happen in football, that's for sure, although they're never easy to take...

"Now it's time to be patient and strong to face the recovery period and I'm sure both of them will do their best. The rest of the team will support them."
