MANCHESTER UNITED MIDFIELDER JUAN MATA WON'T MAKE A DECISION ON FUTURE UNTIL END OF SEASON, REVEALS FATHER

The Spaniard's current deal at Old Trafford expires at the end of next season following his £37.1million move from Chelsea in January 2014

Mata has 19 months left on his current deal

Juan Mata's father has revealed the Manchester United midfielder will not decide on his future until the end of the season.

 

The Spaniard's current deal at Old Trafford expires at the end of next season following his £37.1million move from Chelsea in January 2014.

 

United are relaxed over the issue as they have the option of an extra year should they choose to trigger it.

 

Mata has become a somewhat surprising key part of Jose Mourinho's side after he left the Blues under the Special One due to a lack of game time.

Mata will evaluate his future at the end of the season

The 28-year-old's father, Juan senior, says his son's future will be evaluated 'seriously' at the end of the season.

 

"This season we have entered a new path with Mourinho," he told Turkish newspaper Fanatik.

“However, at the end of the season we will sit down and evaluate our future more seriously."

 

Mata senior was also asked about the possibility of a potential switch to Fenerbahce, who have played United in the Europa League group stage this season, and said: "Fenerbahce one of the options? Why not?"

 

The playmaker has scored twice in nine Premier League appearances so far for United this season having been an ever-present under Louis van Gaal last term
