Juan Mata set to swap Man United for Arsenal this summer
Posted Saturday, November 10, 2018 by ESPN
Jose Mourinho chased Juan Mata out of Chelsea in 2014, and their relationship has only marginally improved since The Special One followed his former charge to Manchester United. So, with the 30-year-old out of contract in the summer, he's set to return to a trusted former manager.
TalkSport reports that Mata will join Arsenal on a free transfer this summer, where he will reunite with manager Unai Emery, who he worked under for three seasons at Valencia. It was at the Mestalla that Mata first broke into the Spain team, and parlayed his fine form into a move to West London.
And now it seems he's set to return to the English capital, this time swapping West London for North.
With Henrikh Mkhitaryan underperforming since his own move from Old Trafford to Arsenal, Emery could be on the look out for a new midfield maestro, and a reunion with Mata could be just what he needs.
