Serbian midfielder, Nemanja Matic has said there are only two or three clubs in the world similar to Manchester United.
The player left Chelsea for Old Trafford in a £35 million move this summer.
Matic, who spent three years with Benfica, won the Premier League title twice at Stamford Bridge, one under United boss Jose Mourinho in 2014-15 and again under Antonio Conte last season.
He made his full debut for The Red Devils in Sunday’s 4-0 win at home to West Ham United, and earned the man-of-the-match award.
Speaking with Sky Sports, Matic said, “Definitely, everyone knows what Manchester United is about.
“When you say Manchester United, it is different. Also Chelsea is a big club, Benfica are the biggest club in Portugal. But Manchester is Manchester.
“When I came here for the first day, I could feel that the people at the club help you every day if you need something and supporters are very important for this club.
“After every training session, they are waiting for us outside the training ground to take pictures, to give a signature so I think the club is one of the biggest in the world.
“Maybe you have two or three clubs similar to United, but Manchester is one of the biggest clubs in the world for sure.”
