Juan Mata says he is planning to stay at Manchester United for as long as he can.
Mata admits he would be interested in finishing his career at Old Trafford but drew comparisons with Michael Carrick when explaining how quickly plans can change.
“At the moment, I see myself here and playing for as long as I can at the club," Mata said in a Q&A on the club website.
“As you know, after that, there are players who go to different countries and try a different league or culture in life.
“I don't know if I'm going to do that because it depends on the circumstances. If you speak to Michael Carrick maybe he had a different plan but then, from one day to another, he became an assistant manager.
“So you never know and I prefer to focus on the present or the short-term goals.”

He will be really handy to help the upcoming young talents , even our academy will benefit a lot from his huge experience , Mata may not be fast player , but he's skillful enough to impact much to youths , his works on and off the pitch is commendable..
