Ivan Perisic has submitted a transfer request to Inter
The Croatian international – who scored both in the semi-finals and the World Cup final – admits to being flattered by the interest shown by Mourinho.
At the end of November, he told FourFourTwo: "It's true that an offer from Manchester United was on the table – I was about to leave Inter.
"The admiration of a coach like Mourinho certainly seduced me.
"It's a confirmation of hard work and good performance.
"When you're congratulated by a guy like Mourinho, the manager of a gigantic club like Man United, it's hard not to think of such an offer.
"I'm glad he has a high opinion of me. These things motivate me to work and train hard to get the best performance. "
Perisic revealed that he was about to sign for Manchester United – then led by Jose Mourinho – in 2017
Perisic says that it is the role of Luciano Spalletti who has made him stay in Italy.
He added: "When Luciano Spalletti arrived [in June 2017]he showed a keen desire to keep me on the team and made it clear that he did not want to lose me.
"It was very encouraging and I did not regret my decision to stay at Inter.
"In football, the little details in these situations are the key."
The 29-year-old has played 130 games with Inter after spending four years in Germany with Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg.
