Juan Mata’s deal at Manchester United is coming to an end and his current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that the club are trying to convince him to sign a new deal with the Red Devils.
Ole said, “He’s a fantastic person and a fantastic player. It’s up to him. I’ve had words with him and he knows how highly I regard him.”
“I was so pleased for him last week; it would have been so much nicer for him to sit there and talk about Juan scoring the winning goal against Chelsea. He’s a top pro and let’s see if they manage to agree.”
Solskjaer also has great words of praise for Mata’s national teammate David De Gea.
He said: “I think David is a fantastic keeper. He’s mentally strong. Of course he’s been in the papers the last few weeks, but that happens.
“He’s determined to prove himself to me and to the supporters. We support him.
“He’s one of the top keepers in the world – for me, the best. He’s gone through a little patch now that everyone will go through.”
