Renowned football account Benchwarmers uploaded a jokey post suggesting that Mourinho is waiting to target Matic in January, and the United midfielder responded – immediately suggesting that their is a chance of a reunion at Spurs.

Spurs have plenty of options in midfield – especially after completing the signing of Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon in the summer. Eric Dier, Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko are also able to play, while Victor Wanyama is on the sidelines.
Manchester United manager Solskjaer was asked about any potential truth behind a Spurs move for Matic in the January window, but the Norwegian played his comment down – claiming that the Serbian had a sense of humour.
“When it’s like this, you like Jose coming back. It’s going to be a spectacle and a circus and Nemanja has a sense of humour,” Solskjaer said. It looks as though Matic is staying put, for now.
