Man United set sights on Chelsea defender: Jose Mourinho keen on reunion at Old Trafford
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho is eyeing a reunion with Cesar Azpilicueta, according to reports in Spain.
Cesar Azpilicueta joined Chelsea from Marseille in 2012
The new Old Trafford supremo has been handed a bumper £200m transfer kitty as he seeks to freshen up his squad ahead of mounting a Premier League title challenge.
He has already signed Eric Bailly in a £30m deal from Villarreal, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is expected to join after Euro 2016 ends.

The United boss may be boosted by the news that incoming Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is reportedly open to Azpilicueta’s departure, with an £11.8m price tag mooted for the Spain international.
United are not the only club said to be interested in the Chelsea defender though, with Paris Saint-Germain and Athletic Bilbao prepared to rival them in the chase for his signature.
