Manchester United are reported to be in talks with Chelsea over the possibility of their midfielder Juan Mata crossing over to Old Trafford.
There have been reports in the media about the future of the Spaniard with United rumoured to be interested in the player. With the Red Devils struggling at the middle of the table, they are looking to sign a player that would help change the fortunes of the club and Mata is definitely one of such players.
Skysport claim that both clubs are currently negotiating a £37 million deal for the Spanish international. Reports have it that this deal is likely to go through and that all the parties involved are committed to its actualization.
The only cog in the wheel of this deal is Chelsea’s interest in Wayne Rooney. Chelsea had been desperate to sign Wayne Rooney this summer. They have had their bids for the player turned down on more than one occasion by United. Yet they are not giving up on him. But when news broke that Mata missed training with Chelsea, Manchester United fans were thrilled.
Chelsea are willing to let go of Mata for two major reason: first the player wants to leave the club ahead of the world cup as he is not getting first team action on a regular basis. Chelsea are also considering the transfer fee they would make from the sale of the player which help to balance their books. Another reason is that Jose Mourinho does not see United as a potent threat to his title ambition.
Former United’s striker Andy Cole has said that Juan Mata could easily fit into Manchester United’s set-up. He believes the Spaniard can easily adapt to tactical changes and sees his joining United as a huge plus for the club.
The question therefore is: Is Juan Mata the messiah that United urgently needs to get them out of the doldrums they’ve found themselves? Let’s wait and see.
