I certainly hope so.

I hope he goes to Barca too. We need to be more cut throat in letting players go that dont suit us.

He's only 30!

He's been around for donkeys years.

He is only 30 and runs like he is 50.

To sit on the bench?

As great a club as Barca are, surely he'll be looking to actually play games in the latter years of his career.

He’s not playing that much at Utd and the chance to finish his career whilst winning things at Barca would be as good as it gets to be honest.

What a relief we are not an option

What a relief we are not an option

.....

I am sure Mata thinks exactly the same. Idiot.

Wouldn’t suit us at all, to slow!

Which is why he doesn't suit us or most Prem clubs.

Barca play at a slow pace so he may be a better fit for them.

I think that a move to Spain or possibly Italy would suit him best. For all of his undoubted technical ability, he really isn't that well suited to United.

I have said it time and time again, my only concern with Ole is maybe the guy is too nice. He has to chop Juan Mata

It’s concerning that we are not an attractive option to him but he’s not suited to us anymore
-------------------

He probably just wants to start every game at this stage on his career.

He's benched big signings like Lukaku and Sanchez... I think he'll be fine

Got a lot of time for him as a man, classy, articulate, intelligent and an all round decent fellah

He is however not all that suited to the EPL as a whole atm, undoubtedly has skills but the physical, pacey side can see him bypassed in games, good luck to him if he does go elsewhere

Apart from lukaku, Rooney, ibra and Pogba, Mata has been the only forward player worthy of the shirt in the past 6 (or so) seasons.

That being said, seems little point in keeping him if he isn't going to be used and cack like lingard and/or herrera are.

Used to love watching him playing. Exemplary player from a coaching perspective.

Sad to see it, but things have become so un-united

Seems like a great guy and no question was a top player in his prime but whats with United offering new deals to lots of players most of you deem not good enough.... Makes you wonder about the transfer budget/policy this summer

Don't understand why we have offered him a deal tbh. Love the bloke, he's a great talent but he is simply too slow for this side.

Love Mata, but unfortunately he doesn't suit our starting line up and is too good to be a bench player for us. Would love him to stay if he was happy to play a bit part role as it's good to have options, but he'll probably want more than that.

Too obvious. Must try harder.

We've probably offered him a new contract in order to claw some money back on him in the summer.

Think he'll go either way. And he probably knows this, hence the reluctance to sign a new deal.

Mirror saying Rashford is getting 300k a week in his new deal.
