Valencia target Juan Mata in £20m swoop?

Juan Mata catches the eye of Valencia, who could be set to launch a £20m bid for the Spanish midfielder, according to reports.

Manchester United's Juan Mata could be the subject of a £20m offer from La Liga side Valencia, according to reports.

The 26-year-old was instrumental in United's 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, but it was the Spaniard's first Premier League start for Louis van Gaal's side in two months.

That lack of first-team football has alerted Valencia, whose owner Peter Lim and president Amadeo Salvo have been in Manchester as they line up a move for the midfielder, reports The Mirror.

Mata, who has 34 caps for Spain, only joined United from Chelsea for £37m in January 2014.
