Kevin De Bruyne insists he would not consider returning to Chelsea while Jose Mourinho is manager. The German attacking midfielder enjoyed a stunning season with Wolfsburg following his failed stint at Stamford Bridge which ended when he was sold in January 2014.

Belgium international De Bruyne, 23, has been linked with a move back to the Premier League in recent months and although he would love to prove himself in England's top flight, would not contemplate joining the Blues again.

"I think, to be honest, that I would not return to Chelsea as long as he [Mourinho] is in charge," he told Bild.

"I don't fear to return to England, or to play in Spain. I believe I can make it there. You can't compare my time at Chelsea with what is now."
