It was not done even if we won.“It is even more important for the next games and we know we have to compete until the last week.  “It’s been a long season but we need to make sure we can compete until the end, that we keep that second position and we fight for being in another FA Cup final and try to win it.” Mata added, with a Wembley showdown against Tottenham fast approaching: “It's the FA Cup, we all know how important it is.“And then to get second in the league which is not the ideal position, but it’s the position we want to finish now.” United will need to perform considerably better against Spurs than they did when hosting West Brom if they are to secure a shot at major silverware, with Mata conceding that the Red Devils deserved little from a meeting with the relegation-threatened Baggies. He said, after seeing a solitary effort from Jay Rodriguez down Jose Mourinho’s men: “We are frustrated ourselves with the performance and what we have to do is think about the next game and keep going, because we have very important weeks ahead. Mata is, however, aware that a testing campaign can end on a high, with second spot up for grabs and more silverware on the line after reaching the semi-final stage of English football’s oldest knockout competition. The Spain international told MUTV in the wake of a disappointing home reversal against West Brom which gifted the Premier League crown to City: "Second position was not done before the game.
