EPL: Mata joins Man Utd exodus
Juan Mata will be the latest player to leave Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of the month Manchester United said on Thursday.
A major overhaul is expected at United over the coming months as new manager Erik ten Hag tries to put his stamp on the club after a hugely disappointing season.
Classy until the end ❤️

However, the 34-year-old former Spanish international has only played a peripheral role in recent seasons.
“Thank you for dedicating eight years of your career to United, Juan,” United said in a statement.
“Everyone at the club wishes you all the best for the future.”
