Incoming Roma coach Jose Mourinho is eager to bring Manchester United veteran Nemanja Matic to Italy.

Matic played for Mourinho at United and Chelsea, with the Portuguese eager to count on the midfielder again in next season's Serie A.

Indeed, Gazzetta dello Sport says Roma sports chief Tiago Pinto has already made contact with Matic about a move to Italy this summer.

The Serb has a deal to 2023, though United won't stand in his way should he choose to move on.

Matic has managed 35 appearances this season, though primarily from the bench.
