AS Roma have reportedly expressed their concerns to Jose Mourinho over whether or not to pursue Nemanja Matic from Manchester United.
The Serbia international has told the Red Devils that he will be leaving at the end of the season when his contract expires - despite the fact he has an an option to extend for another year. It means United's gaping midfield just got wider with the impending exit of their only true defensive stalwart in that position.
Nevertheless, the 33-year-old has been used sparingly by the likes of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick - despite impressing when called upon. While United were already looking to sign a midfielder, Matic's decision will only exasperate an already desperate situation with Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard also leaving for nothing.
