Juan Mata will arrive at Manchester
United 's Carrington training base by
helicopter this morning to complete his
move to the Premier League champions.
The Red Devils agreed a £37 million fee
with Chelsea for the World Cup and
European Championship winner on
Wednesday night.
The move is set to be finalised after the
completion of a medical, which will take
place at the new £10m medical facility
inside Carrington's grounds, with doctors
already on site.
There was a breakthrough in talks
between the two clubs on Wednesday,
with the London club giving the 25-year-
old permission to miss first-team training
in the morning.
Mata is expected to make his debut for
David Moyes’ side in their Premier
League clash against Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer's Cardiff City next Tuesday.
Chelsea will move for Basel's Mohamed
Salah, who had been linked with
Liverpool, as a replacement for the 25-
year-old playmaker.
Details of the transfer emerged as United
crashed out of the Capital One Cup to
Sunderland on Wednesday evening.
Moyes' men missed four of their five
shoot-out penalties after forcing extra-
time thanks to a last-gasp Chicharito goal,
which was scored just seconds after Phil
Bardsley looked to have settled the tie
for the Black Cats.
