Manchester United player Juan Mata has been linked with a shock move to Arsenal. The Spanish midfielder’s contract expires in the summer of 2018 and he will be a free agent on the final months of his current deal at Old Trafford.
The 30-year-old has a working experience with Unai Emery when the latter was managing Valencia.

Cecs Fabregas, who was seen as an Arsnal hero left the club for Chelsea and was regarded as a betrayal. While Alexis Sanchez left Arsenal for Manchester United in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan that saw him go to the opposite direction.
Mata has excellent technical skills and and an eye for goal.

Star report that United player could be the one to fit that bill for the Gunners although he hasn't given up hope of winning a bigger role in United's plans.
