Father of Man Utd ace Mata locked in Barcelona talks

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata is in Bosman talks with Barcelona.

Off contract in June, Mata is considering his options, though his father Juan Manuel has stated they're "happy" with United's new proposal.

Cadena Ser says Juan Manuel has met with Barca officials in recent weeks about a return to Spain.

Mata isn't a priority for the Catalans, though they do hold an interest in the 31 year-old.

The midfielder is viewed as cover for several midfield positions, with his versatility an attractive option.
