Manchester United will wait until the season is over before considering a new contract for Juan Mata.

Mata, 33, is approaching the final month of his contract but United have the option of an additional year to retain him until the summer of 2022.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is open to retaining Mata beyond the summer.

"We're talking to Juan," Solskjaer said. "We've had good dialogue, good discussions and that dialogue will continue. Let's see what he wants to do at the end of the season.

"He's such a top professional, a very good player. It's hard for me not to play him more than I have done. There have been circumstances this season, personal issues that made him less available, but still he is a top player.

"That decision will be made after the season is finished."
