Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho spoke with Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to the Premier League Champions, according to report.
Fabregas was instrumental in Chelsea win against the Old Trafford giants, and Mourinho could not hide his admiration for the former Barcelona midfielder as he looks to sign him for Manchester United as reported by Don Balon.
The Spanish midfielder contract at the Stamford Bridge runs out at the end of the season with the Special One keen to bring in the 30-year-old.
Last week Cesc opened up on the special relationship he has with Mourinho after working with him at the Blues.
“I love Jose and I consider him my friend and we still keep in touch right now,” he told Sky Sports.
“Some of the things said were unfortunate, but I have huge respect for him.
“I think Jose’s biggest problem was that he trusted us too much. He gave us more holidays because we were champions. He had been trusting us and we let him down.”
Fabregas and his teammates will return Premier League action against WestBromwich once the international break is over.
