Juve are said to be weighing up an offer in the region of £18m for the Spanish international when the transfer window re-opens this week.

United had been expected to rid themselves of the midfield playmaker, however his resurgence in form and professionalism have made him an integral component of Louis van Gaal’s squad.

The 26-year-old has so far bagged five goals and three assists this season that has proved he does have a long future at the club for years to come.

Mata is also thought to be keen on staying at the club, too, having recently described his delight at lining up alongside England captain Wayne Rooney on a regular basis.

“He can defend, he can attack, he can pass and he can score goals arriving into the box,” he said.

“For us, he is a very important player and I feel privileged to play with such a player as Wazza.
