JUAN MATA is being tracked by at least three top clubs in Italy as his Manchester United future hangs in the balance.
Juventus, Roma and Inter Milan have all shown interest in the Spanish midfielder with his current deal at Old Trafford due to expire in the summer.

United have the option to trigger a 12 month extension for the 32-year-old – but he has started only eight matches in all competitions this year.
He remains happy with the Red Devils and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer values him as a key man around the club he has served for more than seven years.
But the former Chelsea man is also keen to play more regular football in the final years of his career.
Inter – who have recently signed Romelu Lukaku and Ashley Young from United – have been showing the most interest so far.
The other two clubs are more likely to make a move if he is a free agent in June.
Mata would also have the option of a lucrative move to the Middle East while he hopes there would be clubs from his homeland also keen.
The former Chelsea man signed for Man Utd from Stamford Bridge for £37.1million in January 2014.

Since then, he has scored 50 goals and provided 47 assists in 267 games for the club.
During his seven years with the Red Devils he has won the FA Cup, EFL Cup, Community Shield and UEFA Europa League.
And at international level he has won everything there is to win with Spain, most prominently the 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Championships.
