Juan Mata will not be allowed to join Manchester United until he tells Jose Mourinho he wants to leave Chelsea

Jose Mourinho will demand Juan Mata personally tells him that he wants to join Manchester United before pushing the green light on a £40million switch to Old Trafford.

Chelsea are prepared to consider a £40m bid from United for Mata, but the Spaniard must make his wish clear to Mourinho in order to force through a permanent move away from Stamford Bridge.

The final decision on whether to sell Mata is being left to Mourinho and he will only act once the player has approached him.

Atletico Madrid want to take Mata on loan with an option to buy the 25-year-old at the end of the season. Sending the player back to Spain would be preferable to Mourinho, particularly if Chelsea can secure first option on striker Diego Costa in return.

Kevin De Bruyne was put in a similar position to Mata, when Mourinho made the Belgian tell him he wanted to join Wolfsburg on a permanent deal before finally agreeing to an £18m deal.
