Juventus are reportedly ready to pursue Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata this summer.

The 26-year-old, whose current contract with the Red Devils is set to expire in June 2018, has been linked with a possible move away from the Premier League side once the 2014-15 season comes to a close due to his shrinking role in Louis van Gaal’s line up and it seems like the Bianconeri would be the first side to try and scoop him up.

According to the Sun, Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri would be interested in signing the Spanish international in order to utilise the playmaker’s skills in his 4-3-1-2 formation.

The attacking midfielder, who arrived at Manchester United from Chelsea in January 2014, has made just two Premier League starts since the beginning of 2015, which could leave him open to a Juve move if he fails to regain a key role in the coming months.

Mata has scored five goals and provided three assists in his 22 league appearances this term thus far.
