Jose Mourinho risks upsetting Man Utd dressing room by selling this player
MANCHESTER UNITED players do not want to see Juan Mata leave the club, according to reports.
Mourinho could once again get rid of Juan Mata but he would upset a majority of the dressing room
Jose Mourinho was appointed as Louis van Gaal's replacement at Old Trafford in May, a move which has thrown Mata's future into jeopardy.
The Spain international was sold by then-Chelsea boss Mourinho to United despite the player's popularity at Stamford Bridge.
But any move by the new manager to get rid of Mata again would be 'very unpopular' in the United dressing room, according to the Manchester Evening News.
The 28-year-old arrived at Old Trafford from Mourinho's Chelsea in January 2014 for £37.1million.
Since then, he has appeared more than 100 times for the club and scored 26 goals despite not regularly playing his preferred central position.
