Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was pictured in a secret meeting with Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward and the agent of veteran goalkeeper Petr Cech in a top London hotel on Friday.

The trio were snapped on the sly by an onlooker, and were passed the picture on to a Manchester United supporting friend, who in turn posted them to his Twitter account.
And though nothing official has been confirmed, it isn’t difficult to deduce that the three were obviously meeting about the possibility of Petr Cech joining Manchester United this summer.
That will no doubt lead to increased speculation about David de Gea’s future, who is still being linked with a move to Real Madrid, and these pictures appear to suggest that the Red Devils are already preparing for life after the Spaniard’s return to his homeland.
Mourinho had previously stated that he didn’t want to sell Cech to a Premier League rival, but these pictures could be proof that he is willing to change his mind.
Mourinho probably thinking he has made a mistake in letting cech go to united haha #mufc #transfers #football pic.twitter.com/WigixJ5j7S
