Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata says that he feels "angry" following the team's 1-1 draw with Stoke City.

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has admitted that he feels "angry" after the team failed to pick up maximum points against Stoke City at the weekend.

Jose Mourinho's side were restricted to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford after Anthony Martial's strike was cancelled out by Joe Allen in the 82nd minute.

The Potters were given a slice of luck for the goal after United goalkeeper David de Gea spilled a weak shot from Glen Johnson, which allowed Allen to follow up and nestle the ball into the back of the net.

In his weekly blog, Mata wrote: "As I'm writing this I'm feeling angry because the team played really well but we didn't win... We drew against Stoke, as you know, and I feel that we were very close to get the third win in eight days. It was a pity, that's the truth. We have to take the positive aspects and know that if we keep playing like this, we will definitely get good results.

"We gave everything until the end but we were unable to get those three points that were so important and that (with all due respect to our rival) I think we deserved. With only one point instead of three we are not in the best mood to take the international break, but we are aware that, at our level, everything is possible this season.

"We have five games in October that are very important and we will give our best to make it a good month. Manchester United has always had challenges and the one we have this season is still there. Many times in sports you must learn to accept those games when, even if you do many things well, you don't win. That is football, and that's why it's such a nice and exciting sport."

United are currently sixth in the Premier League table, five points behind leaders Manchester City after seven games.
