Juan Mata: United currently in complicated moments, but top four still our dream

The United playmaker knows that United are going through complicated moments for now, but believes wins will ease the situation at Old Trafford.

United have lost their last two games, face a season defining seven days. United travel to Shrewsbury before hosting .... and Arsenal in quick succession.

Mata wrote on his Monday blog Kickka:

"Unfortunately, we are still going through complicated moments. I know that you don't need to read more posts like this one, or more words from me or my team-mates trying to explain every game. I know that you need wins, and obviously we need them too.

We have the opportunity to move forward in such a nice competition as the FA Cup, the possibility of a comeback in the Europa League after our bad game in Denmark in the first leg, and there are still some weeks in the Premier League to try to shorten the gap with other teams and fight forthe Champions League spots.

All those things can happen; however, we must get better with regard to the last few games... And I'm sure that we will do it.

United fans will be hoping the team can kick off a good, long run of victories starting from the FA cup match.

Six points currently separate United in fifth from City in fourth, and United to breaking into the top four has been considered almost impossible by many.
