The Daily Mirror claims Juventus are preparing a January swoop for Manchester United playmaker Juan Mata.

Joining from Chelsea only last season for £35m, Mata has found himself pushed down the pecking order by Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao.

According to papers in Britain today, Juve are keeping a close eye on the situation.

They could pounce in January, especially as Manchester United are not in Europe this season, so he wouldn’t be cup-tied.

It would likely be a six-month loan deal with option to buy at the end of the season.
