It is the end of eight and a half years at the Old Trafford club, which he joined in the winter transfer window of the 2013-14 campaign. At that time, he was only 25 years old and had just come from a spell with Chelsea after his first years of bonanza at Valencia. In fact, as a Blue, he has signed his best figures in terms of goals, assists and games played.

Juan Mata to become a free agent

Now that he will be a free agent, he will be able to negotiate with the club he wants to give continuity to his soccer life. It has already come to light that Real Betis, Real Sociedad, and Valencia are following him. If he signs with any of these projects, he could return to his native country to spend the last few years before retiring, if that is his medium-term plan.

"Thank you for everything Juan Mata, you will be missed," reads the tweet Manchester United posted to echo its official statement. It accompanied this writing with a creative image of the player driving the ball, celebrating goals, and lifting a Europa League. All this, under a capital "thank you".
