Manchester United star Juan Mata has reportedly turned down a staggering offer of £375,000-a-week after tax to join the Chinese Super League.

Mata joined United from Chelsea for a then club-record £37.1m in 2014.
Mata has started six of United's seven Premier League matches this season and his family are also happy in England's north-west.
'Well, I am happy here, I'm happy in Manchester,' he said.
'I've been here almost four years, and I love the people here. The city is very nice, and has a lot of things to do.
'My dad opened a Spanish restaurant! I am settled in Manchester. I am happy here. So as long as this moment continues I am happy to stay here.'
