Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed a new contract offer for Juan Mata.

The midfielder's current deal will expire in June.

Solskjaer told Sky Sports: "Yeah, fantastic person, fantastic player. Of course it's up to him, he knows I've had words with him, he knows how highly I regard him.

"And I was so pleased for him last week. It would've been so much nicer to talk about Juan scoring the winning goal against Chelsea and his performance. He's a top, top pro and let's see if they manage to agree."

When it was suggested Solskjaer looked 'hopeful' of an agreement, Solskjaer added: "Yeah of course, he's had a few years here now and showed to everyone his qualities as a person and a player."
