Man Utd boss Moyes ponders Mata move after Chelsea blow-up

Manchester United boss David Moyes is monitoring Juan Mata's deteriorating situation at Chelsea. The Spanish playmaker's patience finally snapped at Southampton after yet again being the fall guy for manager Jose Mourinho last night.

On being replaced by Oscar seven minutes after half-time, Mata ignored Mourinho, slammed his seat in the dug out and threw his arms up in frustration as he voiced his anger. He was ­eventually calmed down by his team-mates.

Mourinho said: "I want to keep him. I want to keep him. I don't want him to go.

"That's my opinion, my wish. But my door is open and the club's door is open too. When a player wants to speak with us we are there waiting."

The Mirror says the green light here must surely spark United boss Moyes into joining Inter Milan in making Chelsea an offer that they cannot refuse.
