Juan Mata looks ahead to "demanding" month for Manchester United

The next month will be a "demanding" one for Manchester United, according to playmaker Juan Mata.

Juan Mata has described the next month for Manchester United as "demanding".

Between now and the end of March, the Red Devils will face Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, as well as Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

With United currently battling for a place in next season's Champions League, Spanish playmaker Mata has conceded that it is a highly important few weeks for the club.

"We will need to give everything in the next games to get our goals. For a start, the day after tomorrow against Newcastle in the Premier League, and next Monday against Arsenal in the FA Cup," the 26-year-old wrote on his blog.

"We will also play Tottenham and Liverpool in March, so it's not an exaggeration to describe this month as one of the most demanding ones this season."

Following their 2-0 win over Sunderland at the weekend, United are currently fourth in the Premier League.
