Manchester United sign Mata for club record fee

London: Manchester United announced on its website they have signed Spanish midfielder Juan Mata from Chelsea for a club record fee.

The Premier League club said Friday that the deal will be completed "subject to a medical and the agreement of personal terms" with the 25-year-old Spain international.

The transfer will beat the club's record fee of 30.75 million pounds paid to sign Bulgarian forward Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham in 2008.
