'The Special One' took Matic to Old Trafford in 2017 after previously signing the midfielder at Chelsea. And United are ready to cash in as Mourinho looks to sign him for a third time this summer. He has limited game time at Old Trafford this season, with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tending to favour Scott McTominay and Fred as his double pivot in midfield. The signing of Matic would enable Mourinho to introduce Darboe to first-team action without the need to overload the youngster. If he is to leave Old Trafford, Matic will look to go out on a high by winning next week's Europa League final against Villarreal.
