Matic of Chelsea really want Man U Move
Nemanja
Matic returned to Chelsea from Benfica in January 2014
Jose
Mourinho says Nemanja Matic wants "very much" to leave Chelsea and
join Manchester United.
It came to our source the United hierarchy have agreed a £40m fee for Matic,
who made 40 appearances in all competitions last season, and hope to complete a
deal in the coming days.
The
28-year-old Serbia international defensive midfielder would be United's third
summer signing following the arrivals of defender Victor Lindelof and striker
Romelu Lukaku
Mourinho was asked about Matic after United's 3-0 pre-season win against Valerenga in
Oslo on Sunday.
"I'm
waiting for news," said the Manchester United manager. "I know that
he wants that very, very much and when a player wants very, very much the
chance is bigger.
Manchester
United manager Jose Mourinho looks set for a reunion with Matic
"So
I think we have a chance but in football until it's official, I have seen so
many things happen that I refuse to say more than I am telling you now."
There
have been pictures on social media showing Matic wearing a Manchester United
shirt with the number 31.
But
Mourinho again refused to give anything away, saying: "I don't know
because I was not there. Number 31 is a free number. It was [Bastian]
Schweinsteiger. It's a free jersey, we have a few free and 31 is one of them.
