Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is being linked with a shock move for Chelsea outcast David Luiz.

The Daily Express says it is understood that Mourinho is monitoring Luiz's situation at Chelsea closely and is considering a move – possibly even in January.

The Portuguese only worked with Luiz for one season at Chelsea, in 2013-14 and he then only started in 15 league games, mostly in midfield, with Mourinho preferring John Terry and Gary Cahill as his centre-backs.

Despite their differences at Chelsea, it is suggested the bad blood appears to have been forgotten, with Mourinho apparently impressed with Luiz's improved performances last season, as he returned from PSG in a cut-price £34m deal and helped Chelsea win the title.

After being dumped by Chelsea boss Antonio Conte for the win over United, the Brazilian is still angry at what he sees as a humiliation for someone who came back to the club last summer because of his love for Chelsea.
