To work with Jose Mourinho once again was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down. <br />“I have enjoyed my time at Chelsea and would like to thank the club and the fans for their support. I cannot wait to meet my new team-mates and to start training with them. <br />“This is a very exciting time for the club and I am looking forward to playing my part in creating more history for this great club.” <br />And Mourinho added: “Nemanja is a Manchester United player and a Jose Mourinho player. <br /> <br />“He represents everything we want in a footballer; loyalty, consistency, ambition, team player. <br />“I would like to thank him for his desire to join us because without that, it would be impossible to have him here. I am sure our players and supporters will love him. A big welcome to our new number 31.” <br />Mourinho’s capture of the defensive midfielder will almost certainly end his pursuit of Tottenham’s Eric Dier.
