Juan Mata Open to Staying at Man Utd as He Admits Being 'Very Happy' in England

Juan Mata has reiterated that he is 'very happy' at Manchester United and would be open to extending his stay at Old Trafford beyond the end of the season.

Mata's current deal expires next summer and he will be allowed to discuss a Bosman transfer to another club from January onwards. Several teams have been linked with Mata including his former club Valencia, for whom he played 174 times between 2007 and 2011.

Speaking ahead of his return to the Mestalla on Wednesday in the Champions League, Mata insisted that he is happy at Manchester United and wants to stay at the club.
