Manchester United are close to hiring the services of Nemanja Matic from the Blues and Mourinho will finally have a top quality holding midfielder in his squad.
The former Chelsea boss sold Morgan Schneiderlin to the Toffees in the winter transfer window and did not replace him.
Now, according to Sky Sports, the Red Devils are close to securing the signature of Matic after agreeing a huge fee worth £40million with the Stamford Bridge club.

The Portuguese manager re-signed Matic for Chelsea from Benfica and he played a pivotal role when Chelsea won the title in the 2014-15 campaign under Jose.
The question is, how will Mourinho utilize the 28-year-old star in his Man United starting XI. Jose has mainly used the 4-2-3-1 formation over the years and most of the time, United played that formation last season as well.
In that setup, we can expect $118,000-a-week star (Daily Star) to partner Spanish international Ander Herrera in the center of the park for the Red Devils.
Here is how Man Utd will line up with Matic.
