The Mirror says Mata could leave United at the end of his contract in the summer.

The 32-year-old has less than six months remaining on his deal and the newspaper says it is unlikely the club will take up the option of a further year.

However, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists no decision has been made on Mata's future, saying: "The decision is very difficult every time with Juan. You know he's got the quality. If he plays, he scores goals, he's contributed this season.

"Then again, we've had other players who have taken his role as well - Mason [Greenwood] has done well in that position, Paul [Pogba] now, and Juan really contributes in and around the group.

"So it's one of those that I have discussions with all the time, it's difficult to leave him out but unfortunately that's where it is at the moment, so no decision has been made there yet."
