Juan Mata says he's already counting down the months to Manchester United's next game at Old Trafford.

Mata was reflecting on their 1-1 draw with Arsenal yesterday.

"What I'm going to say may sound weird but this is how I feel right now. To be honest, as I write this I'm looking forward to the next game in Old Trafford," Mata wrote in his blog.

"I know it won't happen in the next few months but playing in this stadium with this crowd is amazing.

"You never get tired of it. We wanted to finish the season at home with a win against Arsenal, in order to keep fighting for the third spot, but we couldn't make it. "
