United close on Matic

Manchester United are close on to sign midfielder Nemanja Matic from Chelsea as sources understands the deal is underway in couple of days.

Jose Mourinho continues his spending spree at the club as he has completed the signing of Victor Lindelöf and Romelu Lukaku from Benfica and Everton respectively.

It is believed that United make a £40million bid for the midfielder who made 40 appearances for the blues in all competition last season.

Juventus were also interested for the Serbian and Chelsea wanted him to move to Serie A rather than the rivals. However Matic prefers a move to Manchester United.

Chelsea have allowed him to join United on a goodwill gesture as the 28 years old has helped Chelsea win two Premier League titles in last three years.
