Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata took £45k-a-week pay cut to stay at Old Trafford – reports

The Spaniard signed a new two-year deal to remain at Old Trafford and according to The Sun, he took a massive £45k-a-week pay cut to do so.

His weekly wage has now gone from £180k-a-week to £135k-a-week – a 25 per cent drop from his previous deal.

A source told The Sun: “Juan loves playing at United and is happy in Manchester.

“He feared he would need to move because he didn’t want to sign for just  12 months. But his advisors and the club hammered out a deal.”

Mata signed for United from Chelsea in 2014 for £37.1million.
