Juan Mata has been awarded the accolade of Manchester United's player of the month for February by their fans around the world.
Options may have been running short seeing as the club only won one game in the month, a 2-0 victory away to Crystal Palace.
The Spaniard's chances received a huge boost when he was cup-tied for the humiliating Champions League defeat against Olympiacos.
Mata was given a trophy and a £500 cheque to go to a charity of his choice.
'It's amazing for me to be awarded with this prize after my first month. I have played just a few games, five games I think, and I am really grateful the fans have voted for me.
'I feel really happy. Life in Manchester is good, I have already found a house, I have a new home and I am trying to know different places around the city. It is a really nice city to live in. It is quiet, relaxing and you can be focused on what is important – playing football.'
