Manchester United Ready To Swoop For Key Chelsea Midfielder

Jose Mourinho could raid his former club again in a sensational move for Spanish playmaker, Cesc Fabregas, according to The Times.

The Spain international has just 18 months left on his current contract with the Blues and with Mourinho being a keen admirer of his talents, could try to steal him away from their title rivals, just as he did last summer when he pulled off a coup for Serbian Nemanja Matic.

But the power brokers at Stamford Bridge would be less obliged to let such a thing happen again and are already preparing a new two-year extension for their mercurial asset, because they are well aware of his potential even though he is over 30.

Conte has so much trust on Fabregas and had deployed him more prominently in the middle of the park this season
especially since N'golo Kante's injury.

Fabregas has started eight times for the reigning Premier League champions in the league this season, logging more minutes than other midfield options at Antonio Conte's disposal.
