Juan Mata Says David De Gea Is 'Happy' at Manchester United Amid Exit Rumours

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has said his team-mate and compatriot David De Gea is happy at Old Trafford, amid continued speculation regarding the goalkeeper's long-term future at the club.

De Gea has frequently been linked with a departure from the Red Devils, and at the end of the current campaign, he will have just one year left to run on his current deal. It means rumours are set to intensify as the summer transfer window creeps into view.

But in an interview with Mundo Deportivo (h/t Naveen Ullal of Sport Witness) ahead of United's clash with Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, Mata said his fellow Spaniard is content with life in Manchester.
