Juan Mata proposes a new contract while Manchester United releases 14 players

Manchester United has released 12 players before the new season, but is in talks to retain Juan Mata.

The Premier League confirmed United's exit list, Antonio Valencia and Ander Herrera being the two most prominent starts.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer promised a redesign of the squad this summer and started the process of cutting dead wood.

Mata has not been included on the list of releases, but has appeared on the chosen list, as the club hopes the midfielder will sign a new contract.

The Spaniard has no contract and is in talks to extend his stay at Old Trafford.

Along with Valencia and Herrera, Millen Baars, Joshua Bohui, Zachary Dearnley, Callum Gribbin, DJ Buffonge, Regan Poole, Tom Sang, Tyrell Warren, Callum Whelan and Matty Willock have all been released.

Herrera is expected to join Paris Saint-Germain, while Valencia is studying offers from the MLS.
