Juan hell of a deal

MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to hand Juan Mata a new three-year deal.

Mata, 30, is out of contract at the end of the season and has been linked with a move to Arsenal.

Atletico Madrid are also understood to be willing to offer the Spain international a return to his homeland.

But United are keen to extend his stay at Old Trafford, where he is a crowd favourite, with a deal to keep him there until 2022 in the offing.

The little midfield maestro cost United

£37million when he joined them from Chelsea in 2014 – a move made possible by current Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho.

Chelsea had paid £23.5m to sign him from Valencia in 2011 where he scored

33 goals in 129 games.
