Report: Chelsea's Matic close to Man United move

According to reports, Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic is close to a
move to Manchester United.

The 28 year old has not played a part in Chelsea's pre-season having
been left behind in London as the Premier League champions embarked on
a tour of Asia.

He is thought not to be part of Antonio Conte's plans for the coming
season. Which was a reason why he was left behind in London.

Nemanja Matic was a key feature in Jose Mourinho's second spell as
manager of Chelsea. Playing a key role as the Portuguese won his third
English title.

He played a key role alongside N'golo Kante as they raced to the title
that season.

A fee in the region of between £45m-£50m is being mooted as the fee
that would take the Serbian international to Old Trafford in what
would be a reunion with Jose Mourinho.

With the Chelsea squad due back in London this week, the club's
hierarchy would be looking to conclude any deal that would take Matic
out of Stamford Bridge quickly.

Following the signing of French midfielder Bakayoko, a replacement for
the Serbian was signed weeks ago.
