Manchester United to take £13m hit on Juan Mata

Manchester United could be set to make a £13million loss on Spaniard Juan Mata, as they consider selling him for just £24m.

The Red Devils signed Mata back in January from Chelsea for £37m, but after failing to match his Stamford Bridge form, Louis Van Gaal may be set to sell the 26-year-old, with his first-team place in jeopardy.

With Radamel Falcao and Angel Di Maria both coming into Old Trafford this Summer, it’s believed that Mata will be sacrificed and dropped to the bench in order to start both new signings.

According to reports, Serie A champions, Juventus, are favourites to land the Spaniard, and are considering making a £24m bid in January, once the transfer window re-opens.

However, there are also talks that United could offer Mata as part of a swap-deal for long-term target, Arturo Vidal.

Juventus will face serious competition for Mata’s signature though as Spanish duo; Atletico Madrid and Valencia are also interested in landing the play-maker.
