With his current contract up in June, the Spanish playmaker, 32, had been expected to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season.
But it now seems United have decided to trigger a one-year extension option in that deal to ensure, should Mata depart, they can still command a fee of around £5million.
However, Mata, according to sources close to the club, is more than happy to stay for another 12 months.
