Man Utd secure Mata to new deal

Midfielder Juan Mata has signed a new two-year contract at Manchester United until 2021 - with an option to remain for another year.

"I have been at Manchester United for five years and I am proud to call Old Trafford my home," Mata said.

Mata said manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a "truly exciting" vision for club.

"I am so happy that I will be a part of that," he added.

Solskjaer said: "Juan is the ultimate professional and one of the most intelligent players I have worked with.

"As well as everything he brings on the pitch, we have some fantastic young players here and I know that Juan's vast experience will help them to reach their potential over the coming seasons."
