​Man Utd veteran Mata dreams of Real Oviedo reunion with Santi Cazorla, Michu

Manchester United veteran Juan Mata hopes that he will get to go to Real Oviedo one day.

The Spaniard is a fan of the club, and says that it is the team that he supports in Spain.

He does hope that one day he will get to go play for Oviedo, when he was asked about the matter by a fan.

A Spanish fan asked during a MUTV Q&A: 'Would you fancy coming back to my club, Real Oviedo?'

Mata responded: "That's my home team, that's the team that I support in Spain. I know a lot of people there in the club and I am fan myself.

"At some point, it would be nice because there a quite a few players who have come through the youth ranks at Oviedo, like: Santi Cazorla, Michu - who used to play for Swansea, Adrian Lopez - who used to play at Atletico Madrid, and myself.

"So it would nice if we could all meet again at Real Oviedo and try to bring the team to the First Division because right now they are in the Second Division.

"Hopefully they can be in the First Division soon, that would be nice."
