Juan Mata was delighted that all the work Manchester United have done on set-pieces during training, finally came to fruition against Leicester on Saturday.
Goals from Chris Smalling, Mata, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba put the Reds four goals to the good by half time, and ended a run of two straight league defeats, and Mata admitted they are focused on making the best use of United's physical strengths.
"We know that we have strong people, tall people, going to head the ball in," Mata told MUTV. "We as takers, we just try to put it in the box the best way we can, aiming for someone to put it in the back of the net.
"Today we showed that we are very strong on that and as well a nice goal between Daley, me and Marcus. We tried a few times last season and it never worked but today finally it worked."
