Nemanja Matic began the summer as Manchester United's third choice central midfield target, according to the Daily Telegrap h .
The Chelsea midfielder is on the verge of moving to Old Trafford for £40 million, but Jose Mourinho had wanted to sign either Eric Dier or Radja Nainggolan ahead of Matic.

MAN UTD MUST PAY €50M FOR PERISIC
Inter Milan have told Manchester United that Ivan Perisic will only leave the club for €50 million (£44m), according to Gazzetta dello Sport .
The Serie A side must raise €30m (£26.4m) by the end of June to meet Financial Fair Play regulations and United were hoping to sign Perisic for that amount.

JAMES AGREES MAN UTD DEAL
Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez remains desperate to secure a move to Manchester United after agreeing personal terms with Jose Mourinho’s side, reports Diario Gol .
Rodriguez is determined to leave Madrid this summer, and AC Milan have been exploring the possibility of signing the Colombian on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal.
However, Rodriguez wants to join United, who are currently reluctant to meet Madrid president Florentino Perez’s €70 million (£61.6m) asking price.
MAN UTD TURN TO BERNARDESCHI
Manchester United could turn to Fiorentina winger Federico Bernardeschi if they fail to sign Ivan Perisic, according to Mediaset Premum via Football Italia .
