Matic to join Mourinho at Manchester United

The former Chelsea boss has outlined his summer wish list

Jose Mourinho will try to bring Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic to Old Trafford this summer, with the Portuguese set to be announced as Manchester United manager.

The 53-year-old has already outlined his summer targets, and will be given ÂŁ200 million in transfer funds to turn the Red Devils’ fortunes around.

Matic is understood to be one of Mourinho’s top midfield targets, despite the Serbia international suffering a dip in form this campaign, and Chelsea could demand ÂŁ25 million for the midfielder.

Mourinho is looking to bring the player he re-signed for Chelsea in 2014 to Old Trafford, to strengthen an area of the pitch that currently is rather weak.

However, it is yet to be seen whether the Blues will be happy to let the 27-year-old leave for Manchester, considering they, too, will need to strengthen this summer, under new boss Antonio Conte.

United are to also go after Everton’s John Stones and Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane, which could cost the Red Devils a combined ÂŁ80 million. But while Mourinho is looking to bolster his options, the future of Juan Mata could be put into doubt.

The Spaniard was sold by Chelsea to Manchester United in 2014, falling out of favour with Mourinho, but it is understood the Spaniard is looking to settle his differences with the Portuguese, in order or to stay at Old Trafford.

Joao Mario is another midfielder Mourinho is looking to bring with him to United, with the Sporting Lisbon been considered as an alternative option for the former Chelsea boss.
