Manchester United are ready to keep Juan Mata at Old Trafford by handing him a new three-year deal.

Mata, 30, is out of contract at the end of the season and has been linked with a move down to Arsenal.

Atletico Madrid are also understood to be willing to offer the Spain international a return to his homeland.

But United are keen to extend his stay at Old Trafford with a deal to keep him there until 2022 in the offing.

Mata cost United around £37million when he moved to them from Chelsea in 2014.

He moved into the top 100 on the list of the club's appearance makers in Saturday's stalemate with Crystal Palace.

“The top 100? I didn’t know that! Of course it’s always great when you can play such a good amount of games for such a big club,” he said.

“I feel very happy and very proud and hopefully I can play many more games.”

Chelsea paid £23.5m to sign him from Valencia in 2011.
