Juan Mata: I already feel settled at Man Utd

Juan Mata says he already feels comfortable after a winning debut for Manchester United.

Even though he had just two training sessions under his belt, United's club-record £37.1million new boy lasted all but the final seven minutes of Tuesday's 2-0 win over Cardiff City.

"I have felt comfortable at this club from the first minute," said the 25-year-old.

"Time has gone so quickly but the welcome has been amazing.

"The lads are really good and there is a great atmosphere."

The good news for United is that Mata is acutely aware there is still much more to come from him.

"To be honest I didn't train that much last week because of the transfer," he said. "I know I can improve."
