But that's football and in the last seconds they put the ball into the box and scored. "You have to keep going, particularly at Christmas time when you play every two or three days."Now we feel frustrated and angry, but we need to keep going and from tomorrow, rest and think about the next game. Obviously we aim to finish the next one with a much better feeling." Mata admits he can take little comfort from having netted twice against Leicester, with the Spaniard having done all he could to collect a win with one smart finish and a classy free-kick. He added: “[For the first goal] I got into the box and Jesse [Lingard] laid the ball off for me and I tried to shoot at goal. I think it was between the legs of the defender and it went in at the far post.“The other one was a nice free-kick, but now I'm feeling disappointed because they weren't enough to win.” United return to action on Boxing Day with a home date against Premier League surprise package Burnley, before wrapping up 2017 with a visit from Southampton.</blockquote>
