David de Gea is happy to continue at Manchester United under Jose Mourinho next season despite concerns over Juan Mata's future.

M.E.N. Sport understands De Gea is focused on striking a better rapport with Mourinho than his predecessor, Louis van Gaal, whom excluded De Gea from United's first six matches of the campaign.

It was reported last week De Gea would angle for a transfer if Van Gaal remained at United but instead he is genuinely keen to make it work under his fourth United manager in five years.

De Gea, 25, is represented by Mourinho's agent, Jorge Mendes, who is negotiating the former Chelsea manager's personal terms ahead of his appointment at Old Trafford.

Mendes' clients Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao signed for United in recent years and he oversaw the transfers of Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Anderson and Bebe to United, but De Gea is his only client in the current United squad.

De Gea's close friend Mata is understood to not see any issues with Mourinho arriving unless the Portuguese decides to create one with the player he jettisoned from Chelsea.

Mata was named Chelsea's player of the year in his first two seasons at the club before Mourinho returned in 2013. Mata reacted angrily when he was substituted in his last Chelsea game at Southampton on the 53-minute mark in January 2014 and signed for United three weeks later for £37.1million.

The 28-year-old was omitted from Spain's Euro 2016 squad and was understood to be hopeful that United would look to an alternative to Mourinho, however he is happy at the club.

Mourinho marginalised Mata as he set about restructuring Chelsea's spine. Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas joined in 2014 and striker Diego Costa was bought from Atletico Madrid as Chelsea went on to win their third Premier League title under Mourinho.
