Manchester United: Juan Mata has called on Manchester United to react to a run of three straight defeats and believes victory over reigning Premier League champions Leicester would be the perfect tonic.

The Red Devils crashed to a 3-1 loss at Watford on Sunday.
Mata is now calling for a response, firstly in the EFL Cup against Northampton on Wednesday and then at home to Leicester three days later.
"As I always say, one of the best things of football is that the game is testing you all the time," Mata wrote in his weekly blog.
"A win doesn't last too long, and it happens the same way with a defeat.
"First of all, we visit Northampton Town in the EFL Cup, in our first game of the season in this competition.
We are the favourites in this game and we have to deliver," Mata wrote.
