Juan Mata has insisted that Manchester United can still challenge for the Premier League title this season.

Louis van Gaal's side secured their first win in three league matches with a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford yesterday.

The Spaniard, who scored from the penalty spot in the victory over the Baggies, told MUTV: "Let's see about that one, as there are still too many games until the end of the season.

"We have to take it game by game. It was a difficult month for us with some tough games, but I think we are still in a position to do it.

"Now we have to focus on the national team and then we have a lot of games in late November and December and we have to be at our best level."

United sit fourth in the table, a point behind the league leaders, who have a game in hand.
