Manchester United veteran Juan Mata admits he's never forgotten the times they have beaten Liverpool.

Mata has now been at United for the better part of his career, which has involved many games against their arch rivals.

And while they have endured disappointment in those years, they have also known great joy against Liverpool.

One of those occasions for United fans was the game against the Reds in 2015, when Mata scored two goals and propelled them to a famous win at Anfield under then manager Louis Van Gaal.

Mata told the Manchester Evening News: "If you speak with United fans they remember always the Liverpool-United games and I was lucky to win that game [in 2015] and score the two goals.

"But specifically that goal [scissor kick].

"And whether I want it or not, I cannot forget that day! Because it's very special for me."
