Juan Mata has signed a new one-year deal with Manchester United to keep him at Old Trafford until June 2022, the Premier League club announced on Friday, July 2, 2021.
The 33-year-old Spain international joined from Chelsea in 2014 and has made 273 appearances for United, scoring 51 goals.
“Dubbed a magician on the pitch and a gentleman off it, Mata has become one of the most popular players in recent United history and he is highly respected by all of his team-mates,” the club said in a statement.
“The World Cup winner’s influence on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s young, improving squad is invaluable.”
On a busy day at Old Trafford, United brought former England goalkeeper Tom Heaton back to the club for a second spell after he left Aston Villa in June.
The 35-year-old graduated from United’s youth academy before moving onto Cardiff in 2010.
