Juan Mata has signed a new one-year deal with Manchester United to keep him at Old Trafford until June 2022, the Premier League club announced on Friday. The 33-year-old Spain international joined from Chelsea in 2014 and has made 273 appearances for United, scoring 51 goals. "Dubbed a magician on the pitch and a gentleman off it, Mata has become one of the most popular players in recent United history and he is highly respected by all of his team-mates," the club said in a statement.

"The World Cup winner`s influence on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer`s young, improving squad is invaluable." On a busy day at Old Trafford, United brought former England goalkeeper Tom Heaton back to the club for a second spell after he left Aston Villa in June. The 35-year-old graduated from United`s youth academy before moving onto Cardiff in 2010. Heaton, who also played for Bristol City and Burnley, agreed a two-year deal at United, with the option for a further year.
