Man United star: This is how we will pip Arsenal and Man City in race for Champions League
JUAN MATA believes Manchester United can still qualify for the Champions League.
Mata has both Arsenal and Manchester City in his sights in the race for Champions League football
Fifth-placed United are at risk of failing to finish in the top four of the Premier League for the second time in three years.
However, the gap to rivals Manchester City is only four points and with a game in hand, Mata is convinced the fixture list has given them a chance to sneak back into contention.
“We know that Manchester City and Arsenal have to face each other so maybe then we’ll have the chance,” Mata told the Manchester Evening News.
“I have to say I am discovering more and more places in the city and I like it.
“The people have been good to me, they are warm people in Manchester.
“I feel happy here and in the city.”
