Chelsea
midfielder Nemanja Matic has reportedly moved to the brink of joining
Manchester United. With Blues
head coach Antonio Conte looking at ways to strengthen his squad, it has been
claimed that Matic could be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge and United boss
Jose Mourinho is an admirer of the Serbian having worked with him during his
time in West London.
With Chelsea
allegedly ready to sign Tiemoue Bakayoko from AS Monaco, it leaves Matic with
the possibility of departing the Premier League champions and according to
ESPN, United are close to completing the transfer.
It has been
suggested that United may pay as much as £40m for the 28-year-old, who has
helped Chelsea to two league titles since returning to the club from Benfica in
2014.
During that
time, he has netted seven goals from 151 appearances in all competitions and
his presence alongside Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba would hand Mourinho a huge
boost ahead of the new campaign.
