Manchester United are in danger of losing playmaker Juan Mata.

The diminutive playmaker is free to sign a pre-agreement with foreign clubs this month as his contract with United runs out at the end of the season.

The 29-year-old wants to stay at Old Trafford after undergoing a resurgence under Jose Mourinho this season.

United are capable of triggering an extension on Mata's current contract, but have yet failed to do so.

This has caused fears Mata may leave the club, with ESPN reporting Inter Milan and Valencia are interested in the Spaniard's services.
