Jose Mourinho ‘scouts Axel Witsel’ for Man Utd – but did midfield star impress for Belgium?
Numerous reports stated the Portuguese was in Belgium to watch summer target Toby Aldeweireld in action but it now seems Axel Witsel was the man on his radar
JOSE MOURINHO was in attendance of Belgium's clash against Iceland to "scout Borussia Dortmund star Axel Witsel", according to reports.
There were previous reports that stated the Red Devil boss was there to watch summer target Toby Alderweireld in action.
Witsel moved to table-topping Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in the summer for £17million from Chinese side Tianjin Quankian.
And the former Benfica and Zenit man has been impressive for the German outfit - scoring three goals in 17 appearances for Die Borussen.
With no Man United players on show in the Belgium match - many questioned who United manager had his eyes on.
But with the box-to-box midfielder seemingly on the verge of a lucrative new deal at Stamford Bridge - these rumours have been put to bed.
The Red Devils are next in action against Crystal Palace on Saturday at Old Trafford.
