Rumoured Everton target Juan Mata has told Manchester United fans to ignore speculation surrounding his future at the club.

Mata, 28, has been linked with an Old Trafford ext this summer following the appointment of Jose Mourinho based on the pair's history at Chelsea.

Mourinho sold Mata to United in January 2014 and the arrival of Henrikh Mkhitaryan earlier this month also seemed to cast further doubt over the Spain international's future.

Everton and Valencia have been heavily linked with trying to sign him , although those rumours have yet to become anything fimer.

Nevertheless a United fan stopped Mata at the club's Carrington training ground and asked him about his situation.

"Don't always listen to the media," he told the fans. When one Red asked him if he was staying, Mata laughed.

Mata came on at half-time in Saturday's friendly and Mourinho was particularly warm with the forward as he congratulated his players at full-time.

It was Mata who intercepted Wigan goalkeeper Jussi Jaakelainen's pass to assist Will Keane for United's opener.

Koeman knows Mata from the time both spent at Valencia.
