Nemanja Matic keen to force through Manchester United move
The midfielder and his agent have held talks with the club and expressed a desire to leave Chelsea, as Mourinho looks to get his hands on one of his top targets.
Following the arrival of Tiemoue Bakayoko, Nemanja Matic has insisted on his intention to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
The Serbia international and his representative have held talks with the Chelsea board, expressing firmly the player's desire to join Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
Conte would like to have another midfielder as well as Bakayoko, which is why the Italian has set his sights on another target for the Red Devils.
Jose Mourinho wants an experienced player to hold his midfield and protect his defence, and is willing to offer 28-year-old Matic a long-term contract at Manchester United.
