5 players who could be offloaded from Manchester United

Juan Mata:

Juan Mata might well be sold by Mourinho yet again.

One of the more gifted players who could leave Old Trafford is Juan Mata. While he is a fan favourite, Mata might have to pack his bags and move out of the English side as Jose Mourinho has now taken over the managerial seat.

Mourinho himself allowed Mata to travel to Manchester and undergo a medical and the transfer was completed by Manchester United paying a then club record fee of £37.1million to Chelsea. Mata has made 104 appearances for United and has managed to score 26 goals, but a guaranteed place is very doubtful as the club now has the services of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mourinho’s opinion of the Spaniard from their days together at Chelsea days.

With a great vision and the ability to assist with his key passes, Mata could be influential for any side looking for a playmaker. Everton are said to be in the race for signing Juan Mata as the new manager of the Toffees, Ronald Koeman has formerly worked with the Spanish winger at their time in Valencia and looks to add him to his new side. Interests from West Ham United and Valencia also have been strongly reported.

As for a surprise published by the Twitter account OurUnitedStory, there's a short clip where Juan Mata straight away quashes rumours stating that he'll be moving away from Manchester United. When asked by a young fan if he'll stay, Mata said : "Don't believe everything that social media and the media says.”
