Mata has fallen out of favor with current boss Solskjaer and could soon be on the move.

AC Milan are interested in signing Juan Mata from Manchester United.

AC Milan believe that adding Manchester United playmaker Juan Mata to their squad will reinforce the midfield and add some much-wanted quality and experience, according to Calciomercato News. The report further claims that Mata will not have any problem leaving the Premier League side, amidst discussions that he will be replaced in January by Barcelona’s Ivan Rakitic.

However, the Spaniard signed a new deal with Manchester United only this summer – as a result, it is believed that it will be very difficult to lure him away from Old Trafford, as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not want him sold anytime soon.

Meanwhile, Corriere Dello Sport claims that Stefano Pioli, the new head coach of the Rossoneri, has been promised a transfer budget of over €65 million, so that it will be easier for him to execute an overhaul in midfield.

United fans probably wouldn’t be too bothered to see Mata leave, with the former Chelsea man rarely showing his best form for the club at any point in the last few years. He remains, however, a top creative talent who could perhaps shine in a different set-up and particularly with the slower pace of the game in Serie A.
