adminLONDON. — Manchester United are close to signing Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic, according to Sky sources.
United hope to complete a deal for the 28-year-old in the coming days as Jose Mourinho continues his summer spending spree at Old Trafford.
Serie A champions Juventus have given up on their pursuit of Matic and have instead turned their attention to Paris Saint-Germain’s Blaise Matuidi, as well as Sevilla midfielder Steven N’Zonzi, according to Sky Italia. Manchester United are also closing in on the signing Mourinho regards as key to a title challenge – Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic.
United’s rivals for the Premier League crown are hoping the Old Trafford manager does not get his man.
That is how highly rated Perisic (28) is and Mourinho is urging United’s transfer-fixer, Ed Woodward, to clinch a £48million deal. — Sky Sports.
