Magic Juan Mata says United are determined to stay in Germany after a brilliant cameo against Copenhagen

Mata admitted the squad were relieved after a tough 120 minutes against stubborn and enterprising opposition, but felt the manner of victory underlined the club’s determination to win the competition for a second time.

“I would say that today is more relief, to be honest, and tiredness!” our no.8 told BT Sport. “I think the team is quite tired physically, and you could see in the game, it wasn’t the best of the games. But at this stage of the season, with so many games behind [us], so many months, it’s very important to win games like we did today, and we go through.

“We came to Germany with the aim of staying for quite some time, and hopefully we can go on and win this tournament.”
