But according to Spanish news outlet AS, Mata wants to stay at United because he believes the club are close to winning a trophy.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has barely picked Mata for Premier League games this season.

However, the Norwegian expressed his delight at the Spaniard's performances in the Carabao Cup.
