Three Spanish teams are in the hunt for Manchester United star Juan Mata.
Mata may have played his last game for Manchester United against Brentford on Monday night, where he was awarded his first Premier League start of the season.
The Spaniard is out of contract this summer, and he could be making a move back to his home country.
According to Fichajes, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, and Valencia are all interested in the attacking midfielder.
Mata has been unfortunate not to play many games this season, especially with other players underperforming. The 30-year-old proved he still has a lot to give after an impressive performance in his recent start for the club.
The pace of the Spanish game might suit Mata more as he’s entered his thirties, and he’s a player who’s never been blessed with speed.
Mata has already spent a few years at Valencia, and a move back to the club he made his name could be in the pipeline. His excellent displays at the club earned him a move to Chelsea, where he became one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League.
Mata was under used. Solskjaer was to blame. He is a football technician. Look at how well he played last night. He still has a lot to offer and commands respect. Keep him on the coaching staff.
