Chelsea fullback Azpilicueta: Have I spoken to Mourinho about Man Utd?

Chelsea fullback Cesar Azpilicueta has played down talk of a move to Jose Mourinho's Manchester United.

Mourinho gave Azpilicueta his big break at left-back ahead of Ashley Cole, and the Spaniard hasn't looked back since.

Reports in Spain claim The Special One is ready to make a move for Azpilicueta this summer, with Antonio Conte apparently ready to let him leave for just under £12million.

He told radio station Cadena Cope: [Mourinho?] No. If you believe me or don't believe me.

“It's always a compliment that you are wanted. I've heard highly about [Bilbao boss] Ernesto Valverde but I'm focused on the national team and Chelsea.

“I've been there for four years, I am very happy and I feel highly valued."
