Jose Mourinho is keen to bring Andreas Pereira back to Manchester United, according to reports.

Pereira is spending the season on loan at La Liga side Valencia - and has impressed since moving.

Plaza Deportivo report that Mourinho has been keeping tabs on Pereira's progress and now believes that he could fit into their squad at Old Trafford.

United have a host of injury problems at the moment and Pereira would have likely been given game time if he had not gone out on loan.

But his preparations could be disrupted as he is due to face charges dating back to his time as Real Madrid chief.

Mourinho is alleged to owe Spanish authorities almost £2.9m in undeclared revenue related to image rights in 2011 and 2012, as originally reported in the Manchester Evening News.

That has been strenuously denied by his representatives but the Reds boss has been summoned to appear in a Madrid court on November 3 - two days before he takes United back to his former home at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

Nemanja Matic claims he has nothing to prove on his return to Chelsea for the first time since his £40million switch to Manchester United.

The 29-year-old Serb has started all of United's Premier League and Champions League games this season and has proved himself to be Jose Mourinho's key summer signing.

Ahead of Sunday's Stamford Bridge clash, Matic said he had proved his worth to Chelsea during his time there and that his only loyalty was now towards United.

“I feel when I played there, I showed them my quality,” said Matic.

“We won the title twice and also two cups, so I don't have to prove to them anything. I just have to prove something to my new club.

“I spent a good time there, three-and-a-half years, which is a long time, and of course it's going to be something special again for me to play again in that stadium.

“But now I'm on the opposite side, I have to be professional and do the best for my team. Now I'm a United player, I will try to do the best for my team and to take points there.

"When I played there I always gave 100 per cent. I'm sure they respect that but if not, I don't really care."
