Report: Manchester United want Chelsea's Nemanja Matic

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is reportedly desperate to bring Chelsea's Nemanja Matic to Old Trafford.

Mourinho re-signed the 27-year-old from Benfica in the summer of 2014 and the midfielder played a key role in Chelsea's Premier League title success during the 2014-15 campaign.

It is understood that the two have maintained a close relationship following their time together in London and according to gianlucadimarzio.com, Mourinho will attempt to sign the Serbian international for his new club.

Matic, who has made more than 100 appearances for Chelsea during his second spell at the club, is currently contracted to the Blues until the summer of 2019.
