Nemanja Matic hits back at Roy Keane and defends Manchester United captain Harry Maguire

Nemanja Matic has hit back at Manchester United legend Roy Keane for criticism of him last season and believes that Harry Maguire is also unfairly targeted at his former club.

The 34-year-old left United in the summer transfer window after five years at the club and moved to Italian side Roma, where he teamed up with former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho again.

Matic decided to leave English football in order to pursue regular game time, but was criticised by Keane for saying he still had a place in his heart for both United and Chelsea.
