Jose Mourinho reacts to Nemanja Matic transfer news

Jose Mourinho believes Nemanja Matic's desire to join Manchester United gave them a better chance of signing him than Juventus. 

Matic, 28, had his United medical on Sunday and could be unveiled by the club on Monday ahead of a possible first appearance in the friendly against Sampdoria in Dublin on Wednesday.
Mourinho earmarked Matic as a priority signing months ago and the Serbia international was intent on reuniting with his former Chelsea manager at the end of last season.
Serie A champions Juventus were also interested but conceded defeat when it transpired Matic was determined to join United.

"I’m waiting for news," Mourinho said after United's friendly win over Valerenga in Oslo. "I'm waiting for news. I know that he wants that very, very much and when a player wants very, very much the chance is bigger, the chance is bigger.
"So I think we have a chance but in football until it’s official, I saw so many things happen that I refuse to say more than I am telling you now."

Matic sported the number 31 - previously occupied by Bastian Schweinsteiger until he left in March - on his training kit in a legitimate picture which circulated on Twitter and Mourinho was asked about the image.
"I don’t know because I was not there [at United's Carrington training complex]," he replied. "I don't know. I really don't know. -  Manchester news
