Man Utd midfielder Mata pleased with form going into World Cup

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata feels in good form going into the World Cup.

Mata, who joined United from Chelsea in January for a club-record fee, was involved in the Spain squad in 2010 for their World Cup win in South Africa, and is hungry for more.

He told Laureus.com: "Winning the World Cup for Spain and being part of the squad was probably my best moment in my career and one of the best moments in my life.

"The last three or four months for me were great. I played a lot. I scored some goals. So I am looking forward to being there and to try my best for the team."
