Manchester United man Juan Mata is the subject of interest from a La Liga side, while Mesut Ozil has issued a demand to Arsenal, according to Wednesday’s papers.

Real Madrid is eyeing a possible move to take Juan Mata back to the Bernabeu, according to the Express.

The Spaniard started his career with Real at their Castilla team, but never managed to graduate and eventually joined fellow La Liga side Valencia.

Juan Mata, 29,  was left out of Jose Mourinho’s squad which faced Chelsea at the weekend, adding to speculation that Mata’s days at Old Trafford could be numbered.

Zinedine Zidane is looking to add attacking creativity to his side, who sit eight points behind Barcelona in the La Liga table after just eleven games played.

Mata may be available on the cheap in January, or possible on a free if Los Blancos are willing to wait, as his contract expires next summer.

Meanwhile, Marouane Fellaini could be on the move, despite thriving this season and becoming one of Mourinho’s personal favourites.

While the Belgian star has been a near ever-present this season, he was recently spotted in Turkey, as three Super Lig sides mull over a January swoop for the midfielder.

Since Mourinho took charge in Manchester, 16 players have left the club, with only TWO commanding a “big” transfer fee – Memphis Depay (£16m) and Morgan Schneiderlin (£22m).
