​Man Utd veteran Juan Mata explains emotional goal celebration

Manchester United veteran Juan Mata spoke about his emotional goal celebration against Wolves.

Mata netted the second goal for United, which turned out to be the winner, in a 2-1 success over Wolves at Molineux on the final day of the season.

A heavily rotated Red Devils side stayed unbeaten away from home all season.

After the game, Mata explained he dedicated his goal to his late mother, Marta Garcia.

"I have had the most difficult season in my life, for sure. I wanted to score for my mother and, thankfully, I did it," he explained, per the club website.

"So this goal, and every goal that I score from now on, is going to be for her."
