Mata: Man Utd priority is to improve home form

Juan Mata admits that Manchester United's form at Old Trafford must improve after seven league defeats last season on home turf. Mata, who was signed by former boss David Moyes in January, featured in just three home wins following his arrival from Chelsea and says that it is something which needs to be addressed.

"I don't know [why things have gone so wrong]. We did not get the results we had to especially at Old Trafford," he told Rabona magazine.

"I remember it as one of the most difficult places to play as a visiting team. We need to bring that back. That is very important.

"We have to make sure there is no repeat of what has happened this season. We can be Manchester United again, as the club was in the last few years, winning Premier League titles."

"Away from home, we are getting the results. We have been the best team away from home. That is the key point: to be reliable again at Old Trafford.

"We have to make sure there is no repeat of what has happened this season.

"We can be Manchester United again, as the club was in the last few years, winning Premier League titles.

"The belief in the dressing room is that we can again."
