Mata scored in today's first friendly of United's preseason.

“It is very good news for the club and especially the Academy that we have so many kids with us," Mata said on MUTV, while collecting his Man of the Match award.

“I think they are having a great experience by training with us and the manager, seeing what Manchester United represents around the world and I think the future is bright for Manchester United with these Academy players."
