Juan Mata Reveals Why He Pledged His Future to Man Utd With New Deal

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has revealed why he chose to stay at Old Trafford this summer, as his side prepare to begin their pre-season tour of Australia.

Mata was out of contract in Manchester at the end of June and had a number of enticing offers from other clubs, including, as revealed exclusively by 90min on Wednesday, a stunningly lucrative £550,000-a-week package from Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG.

However, Mata was not convinced, instead choosing to re-sign with the Red Devils with a deal that is set to run until June 2021, with the option for a further year.
