Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata is a wanted man as his contract runs down.

ESPN says Mata is at the centre of a transfer tug-of-war between AC Milan and Inter Milan.

The United midfielder is out of contract at the end of this season and looks likely to end his 11-year stay in England.

Mata had been linked with a move back to LaLiga, where he started his career.

But the 33-year-old doesn't see a move back to Spain as a "priority."

He could, instead, look to make an impact in another one of Europe's top-five leagues.

Serie A champions and challengers Inter and AC Milan are believed to be keen on the playmaker.
