Manchester United star Juan Mata is full of praise for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News in an interview, Mata spoke about his own future and the impact of Solskjaer on the club.

And the Spaniard only had nice things to say about the Norwegian, who has been in charge since mid December.

"The first thing I will say about him is he is a great human being," Mata said of Solskjaer.

"He's a great man.And you can see that since day one. Obviously he's a legend of the club, he's been a player and he's done great things, but his mentality, his way of communicating, his positivity since he came.

"He was very encouraging for all of us and all the fans and people who love Manchester United.

"So I'm very happy for him when he got the permanent job because I think he embodies what Manchester United is and he is a great person, so perfect."
