Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has ‘blindsided’ the club by announcing he will depart the club at the end of the campaign.
The Serbian ace is one of the most experienced players at the club, having played for the Red Devils since his £40m move from Chelsea in the summer of 2017. While Matic won three Premier League titles, the FA Cup and the League Cup over the course of two spells at the Blues, his time at United will end trophyless.
Despite the expectant arrival of Erik ten Hag, the 33-year-old midfield general has decided to end his United career at the end of the campaign to avoid triggering an automatic extension in his contract. And this news is said to have rocked Old Trafford officials who are now severely lacking in defensive midfielders.
