Nemanja Matic provides honest thoughts on Erik ten Hag as he explains why he left Man Utd

Nemanja Matic has revealed he left Erik ten Hag's Manchester United for Jose Mourinho's Roma in the summer to play more often.

The Serbia international, 34, was granted a free transfer by the Red Devils after five years of service. He was brought to Old Trafford by Mourinho after their time together at Chelsea, where they won a Premier League and EFL Cup double during the 2014/15 campaign.

Matic made 189 appearances for United during that time but saw his minutes limited towards the end of his spell by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick. The midfielder made just 16 Premier League starts last season and only 12 during the 2020/21 campaign.
