Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho spoke with Chelsea ace Cesc Fabregas after Sunday's defeat, it is being claimed.

Cesc was impressive in Chelsea's 1-0 triumph.

Don Balon says Mourinho spoke to the midfielder afterwards as he looks to recruit the former Barcelona star.

His contract at Chelsea 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 holiday because we were champions. He had been trusting us and we let him down."
