Nemanja Matic is interested in linking up with his former boss Jose Mourinho at Manchester United this summer.
The 28-year-old midfielder, who was signed by Mourinho in January 2014, played an instrumental role as Chelsea won the Premier League title last season.
But despite becoming a mainstay of Antonio Conte's side, Matic feels the time is right for a change of club after failing to secure a move away last summer.
His representatives have remained in touch with Mourinho, who is keen to add a defensive midfielder to his ranks before the start of the new campaign.
