‘Matic Is Desperate To Move To Manchester United’- Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho has revealed that Nemanja Matic is desperate to finalise a move to Manchester United.

He, however, refused to confirm if the transfer has been finalised.

The Chelsea midfielder reportedly underwent a medical on Sunday and a picture of him wearing United training gear, leaked on social media.

Mourinho, who signed Matic as Chelsea boss in 2014, says the 28-year-old is keen on a reunion at Old Trafford.

“I’m waiting for news,” the United manager said after watching his side beat Valerenga 3-0 in a friendly in Oslo.

“I know that he wants it very, very much and when a player wants it very, very much, the chance is bigger.

“We have a chance. In football, until it’s official, I saw many things happen… I refuse to say more than I’m telling you now.”

Mourinho also insisted he is not aware if a medical was conducted while he has been with the senior squad in Norway.

“I don’t know because I was not there,” he said.

“Number 31 is a free number. It was Schweinsteiger but it’s a free jersey. We have a few free.”
