Juan Mata: Man United move delayed by Chelsea's Salah wait

Juan Mata's club-record £37m transfer to Manchester United has been delayed until Chelsea complete the acquisition of Mohamed Salah from FC Basel.

The Blues have agreed an £11m deal for Salah, 21, but the Egypt midfielder needs to accept personal terms, undergo a medical and receive a work permit.

That process is not expected to be finalised for at least two days.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho confirmed on Friday that playmaker Mata, 25, was travelling to Manchester for a medical.

Mourinho said: "Things are going in a good direction. We have allowed Juan to travel and have the medical.

"The player deserves respect and to play and because the offer is right, we allowed him to negotiate."

However, United will not let the medical go ahead until Chelsea have signed off on the deal.
