Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata says they must treat their remaining games as Cup finals.

The Spanish playmaker has just returned from injury but was left on the bench as his side were held to a 1-1 draw against Swansea on Sunday.

Mata wrote in his blog: “Two big challenges await us this week. First of all we have to visit Celta in the Europa League.

“I can say, without exaggerating, that they are one of the teams that play better football in Spain, and not only this season.

“Being back home will be special, but very difficult at the same time. We must perform at our best in order to beat them.

“Besides, a few days later we will visit another big opponent such as Arsenal, with three key points at stake. Every game from now on is a final for us, that's how we face them."
