Mata thrilled with Old Trafford debut

Manchester United attacker Juan Mata hailed an "unbelievable" debut and believes the club can still qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

The Spain international made the £37.1million switch to David Moyes' side from rivals Chelsea on Saturday, and made an immediate impact with a fine display in the 2-0 victory over Cardiff City at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

Mata was not on the scoresheet, but United took all three points as Robin van Persie marked his return from injury with a close-range header to open the scoring, while Ashley Young's solo effort confirmed the points on 59 minutes.

The 25-year-old also got to link up with England international Wayne Rooney, who returned from a five-match absence with a foot issue for the final 30 minutes.
