Chelsea academy graduate Ruben Loftus-Cheek believes Manchester United are "lucky" to have Jose Mourinho as their manager as the Portuguese boss prepares to make his eagerly-anticipated return to his former stomping ground, reports the London Evening Standard.

"I don't think it will be weird [facing Mourinho]," Loftus-Cheek told Goal about coming up against the Portuguese coach on Sunday.

"But obviously he is a great manager and I think Man United are lucky to have him. So even though he is Chelsea, even though he has moved to United, Chelsea fans still love him."
