Former Man United star closes in on SHOCK return to football as he links up with Chelsea icon - six months after leaving his former club

Former Chelsea and Manchester United player, Juan Mata, has found a new club after half a season without a club.

The veteran midfielder, now 36, looked to be in the twilight of his career after playing just once for Japanese side Vissel Kobe, who he joined last September.

Now as The Sun reports, Mata, who won the FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League and a Champions League across a Premier League career with Chelsea and United, looks set to return to the field after six months out of action.
