Dubai jaunt has helped me settle into United life, says Mata

Juan Mata thinks Manchester United’s five-day jaunt to Dubai has helped him settle into David Moyes’ squad.

With United out of the FA Cup, Moyes decided to take Mata and the rest of his players on a short warm-weather training camp in the middle east following their 0-0 draw at Arsenal last week.

Mata has made a steady start to life at Old Trafford, setting up Robin van Persie for his goals against Stoke and Fulham.
