Mata lauds van Gaal's vision

Manchester United's Spanish midfielder Juan Mata says the team showed during its preseason tour of the United States that the players believe in the new system introduced by Dutch coach Louis van Gaal.

United wrap-ped up its tour with a 3-1 win over Liverpool in the International Champions Cup final in Miami on Monday and after defeating Real Madrid on Saturday the mood among van Gaal's squad was buoyant ahead of its Aug 16 Premier League opener against Swansea.

"It was a good tour for us, a good two or three weeks trying to get ready physically and mentally while trying to adapt to the new system," Mata told ManUtd.com.
