According to the Daily Mirror , the champions ARE preparing a £37million bid to land the Blues misfit.
David Moyes' response to the defeat at Stamford Bridge on Sunday which left the champions 14 points adrift of leaders Arsenal and six shy of fourth-placed Liverpool was to target the Spanish playmaker.
United insisted last night that they have NOT tabled any bid for Mata , but Chelsea are braced for an official approach from Old Trafford in the next 48 hours which could see former Valencia schemer Mata leaving London.
Mourinho insists he does not want Mata to leave and it is understood that is very much Chelsea's position over the popular 25-year-old.
United, though, have now played Chelsea twice and so Mata could not damage their title bid this season, while the Old Trafford outfit still have to face both Arsenal and Manchester City.
