Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly eager to revive his interest in Borussia Dortmund midfielder Axel Witsel and is understood to have scouted the player during the recent international break.
Mark Ogden of ESPN FC wrote that Mourinho told reporters he was in Brussels to keep tabs on Red Devils striker Romelu Lukaku. However, the tactician remained after Lukaku was ruled out of Belgium's UEFA Nations League clash against Iceland on Thursday, and Witsel is understood to have been the reason why.
United splashed £52 million to recruit Brazil international Fred, 25, from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer, with his age said to be a crucial factor in why the club signed him.
