The Spaniard opened his account for the champions as they beat the Villans 4-1 at Old Trafford, and the former Chelsea playmaker talked up the significance of the win.

He wrote in his blog: "Our win on Saturday was special because we went from 0-1 down to prove to ourselves all the things we are capable of.

"We know our position in the table is not what the club and the fans deserve, but we are working to improve it."

United are currently seventh in the Premier League.
