Manchester United's director of football John Murtough was left red-faced this summer after one of his closest confidants Nemanja Matic elected to wave goodbye to the club.
The Serbian, 34, spent five years at Old Trafford after arriving from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer of 2017 for a fee of £40m.
He went on to make 189 appearances for the Red Devils in all and was one of the more senior players in the United dressing room during his time at the club and appeared to be one of the connections between the hierarchy and the playing staff.
