Juan Mata is the first out of four Manchester United players on this list. The Spaniard came to Manchester United in January 2014 from Chelsea for a reported fee of £37 million. He has played a significant role in the Manchester United shirt but he has never established himself as a standard member of the starting lineup.

The player has hinted that he would be keen to extend his Manchester United contract but there are still no further details about possible negotiations. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the club from Old Trafford. Recently, they fired Jose Mourinho and it's hard to believe that they will win any trophies this season. Many things depend on what plans they have with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and if they will get a new manager in the summer.
