Arsenal schooled us! Juan Mata concedes Manchester United were taught a lesson by Arsene Wenger's side after 'horrible' loss

Juan Mata accepts Manchester United must learn the harsh lessons of their horrible start in the 3-0 defeat at Arsenal, but also not forget what took them to the top of the Barclays Premier League table.
Louis van Gaal was left stunned by the manner of the loss at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, where the Gunners had put the contest beyond his side with three goals inside the opening 20 minutes - the first two coming within 74 seconds of each other.
United had started the weekend top of the table but finished it down in third place below Arsenal on goal difference, with rivals Manchester City having also romped to a 6-1 victory over Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.


After the international break, the Red Devils travel to Everton and then have an away Champions League fixture against CSKA Moscow before returning to the small matter of the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on October 25.
 
Mata, who now jets off on international duty with Spain, feels the squad have what it takes to recover.
