Mata eager to link up with Rooney

Manchester United's record signing Juan Mata has said he cannot wait to link up with new team-mate Wayne Rooney. It has been reported that Mata's £37.1m move from Chelsea could lead to a potential summer switch for Rooney in the opposite direction. But Rooney, 28, is now in talks with United to extend his current deal. Spain forward Mata, 25, said: "For me, he's one of the best players in the history of this country. He's an unbelievable player."
