Manchester United will look to complete the £40million transfer of Nemanja Matic from Chelsea next week.

Chelsea have consented to allow the 28-year-old to join their Premier League rivals but manager Antonio Conte ideally wants to bring in another midfielder before the transfer is signed off.

Matic was left behind from Chelsea’s pre-season tour to the Far East and made it clear that he wished to leave the club.

Though Juventus expressed interest, they were unwilling to match the financial package plus the length of contract that Matic sought. Instead, he will be reunited with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who tried to sign Matic last season.

Mourinho had targeted at least four signings this summer, though accepts he may have to be satisfied with three following the arrivals of Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku.

Talks over a deal for Ivan Perisic at Inter Milan remain at an impasse, with United unwilling to match the £50m asking price or include Anthony Martial in the deal.

Mourinho said: ‘I depend on the situation, the market, and if my club is unable to do two players and just one, I accept that as a consequence of the market now.’

Midfielder Ander Herrera is expected to agree terms on a new four-year contract and a proposed contract offer to veteran striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic remains a possibility.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray have made an enquiry for United midfielder Marouane Fellaini. The 29-year-old is well-liked by Mourinho but the Belgium international knows his first-team opportunities will be even more limited once Matic arrives from Chelsea.
