Manchester United manager David Moyes welcomed Juan Mata to the club last week and then said he hopes to sign more players of his quality this year. Mata is tonight expected to make his Old Trafford debut against Cardiff City as the home fans will get their first glimpse of the £37.1 million club-record buy. And over the course of the January and summer transfer windows, Moyes hopes to sign more players just like him. The Scot told United's official TV station, MUTV:
This is the first, and there will be many more to come in time. I want the quality of Juan to be the start of it.
The former Everton boss now has less than four days to wrap up any more deals before the winter window slams shut on Friday, though there is still time for him to make another marquee signing.

It is important United continue to buy players of similar quality to Mata if they are to reverse their fortunes and here we take a look at 5 Marquee Signings David Moyes Could Make.
