Report suggests the deal could be completed by the weekend with the Blues ready to let 

Matic move to Old Trafford as soon as they wrap up a deal for Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

It is thought personal terms have already been agreed between United and the 28-year-old, who has reportedly agreed a four-year deal worth £150,000-a-week.

Mourinho signed the Serb for £21m in January 2014 when previously in charge at Chelsea and the player became part of his title-winning side. Matic’s impressive return to the club he originally joined in August 2009 from the Slovakian side Kosice won him a place in the 2015 PFA team of the year.

Matic is seen as the replacement for Michael Carrick and as an upgrade to Marouane Fellaini. Carrick signed a new one-year contract last month but he will be 36 on 28 July.
