Man Utd want Koke in exchange for Juan Mata

Manchester United are unlikely to offload midfielder Juan Mata to Atletico Madrid unless they get Koke in exchange.

Mata has struggled to cement his place in the first-team at the Red Devils this season.

Recent reports have claimed that the Spain international could make a switch back to La Liga with Atleti in the summer.

According to Metro, United are open to the sale of Mata to the Basque club in a deal which would warrant Koke moving the other way.

The 26-year-old joined Manchester United from Chelsea in January 2014.
