After a long break, the "Manchester United" team celebrated a victory in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Louis Van Gaal's disciples defeated the "Wolfsburg" team 2:1 at home. Excluding this season's qualifying tournament, the last time the Englishmen had won was in March 2014, when they beat Piraeus Olympiacos 3:0.
The Germans had taken the lead, but Juan Mata's and Chris Smalling's strikes allowed the "Red Devils" to triumph.
After the match, Mata revealed that from now on he will always convert penalty kicks - the coach pushed Wayne Rooney of "Man Utd" down the list.
"The manager made a list of penalty takers and now I am in the first position, so I feel confident in my abilities.
The match was tough and at the end we had to defend only, as we were very tired. The Germans kept applying pressure, but we did what we had to do," Mata said.
