Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has been dealt a major distraction ahead of next month's crunch trip to former club Chelsea.
The Special One has been summoned to appear in a Madrid court on November 3 - two days before he takes United side to his old team in the Premier League.
The Spanish authorities opened a case against the 54-year-old in June for alleged tax evasion during his time as Real Madrid boss.
It is claimed he did not declare revenue related to his image rights in 2011 and 2012 and owes the Spanish state nearly £2.9million.
Mourinho's agent issued a statement at the time that denied this allegation and pointed out he paid nearly £23million in taxes during his stint in Spain, at an average tax rate of more than 41 per cent.
It also stated that he had reached a settlement agreement with the Spanish taxman in 2013.
