Matic open to Mourinho reunion

Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic would be open to the prospect of linking up with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United during the summer transfer window.



The Serbia international played a key part in the Blues' Premier League triumph last term, but he is still said to be mulling over his future with Antonio Conte on the hunt for a new anchorman.

According to The Sun, the 28-year-old would consider a potential reunion with Mourinho at Old Trafford despite the shrewd relationship between them during the Special One's previous Chelsea stint.

Matic was evidently frustrated prior to Mourinho's Blues' sacking in December last year after he was brought on a second-half substitute in the 3-1 defeat to Southampton, only to be subbed off 28 minutes later.

Despite this, the former Benfica man is willing to push for a fresh challenge with the Mancunian giants with the Blues yet to resolve his contractual situation.

Matic was initially tipped to sign a new long-term deal beyond the summer of 2019, but these plans have been stalled following Conte's urge to recruit a more robust midfielder to his ranks.
