Juan Mata: 'Manchester United must be consistent'

Juan Mata says that Manchester United 'want to make their supporters proud' by enjoying a successful 2018-19 campaign.

Juan Mata has said that Manchester United 'want to make their supporters proud' by enjoying a successful 2018-19 campaign.

The Red Devils failed to win a trophy last term, and finished the 2017-18 Premier League season 19 points behind title winners Manchester City.

City will again start the new season as the favourites for the championship, and Mata has said that his team 'must be consistent' if they want to land their first top-flight crown since 2013.

"I know what Manchester United fans want, they want to win trophies, be proud of the team and enjoy us when they watch us play and we want the same," Mata told Sky Sports News.

"The team that wins the Premier League is the most consistent, winning points and points, week in, week out. We need to do that if we want to win.

"Obviously there is the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup, so we have many tournaments to play for and hopefully we can go to the end in all of them.

"We want a positive season, to try and play good football and try and win some trophies. We have this magnificent fanbase, all around the world. We want to make them proud and win things for them in a good style."

United will continue their preparations for the new season with a pre-season friendly against bitter rivals Liverpool on Saturday night.
