Mourinho insists Matic "wants" Manchester United move
A picture of Matic in a Manchester United training top was circulated on Twitter earlier today which appeared to confirm a £40million transfer was close to completion with an announcement expected soon.
But speaking after United's 3-0 win over Valerenga, Mourinho was reluctant to discuss whether the Serbian midfielder was close to joining but admitted the player wanted to move to Old Trafford.
Mourinho said: "I'm waiting for news. I know that he wants the move very very much.
"When he wants very much the chance is bigger.

"I refuse to say more than I'm telling you.
"I think we have a chance but in football until it’s official, I saw so many things happen."
Mourinho did confirm Marouane Fellaini won't be leaving United amid interest from Galatasaray.
He said: "It's easier for Galatasaray to get me than Marouane. He is too important to me. No chance."
