Juan Mata insists Manchester United fans can 'look forward to a new and exciting era' under Erik ten Hag and admits he shares 'frustration' from supporters at poor season

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata wants Erik ten Hag to inspire a 'big change' in results and has predicted an exciting future for the club when the Ajax boss takes over on July 1.

Veteran Mata admits he can understand how United fans feel after an underwhelming season that has left the 13-time Premier League champions battling for Europa League qualification – and the long-serving playmaker believes Ten Hag could transform their predicament.

Mata told United's official website: 'I understand the fans' frustration after this season because I would also be frustrated.
