Why I signed Matic for Manchester United – Mourinho

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has revealed why he signed Nemanja Matic from Chelsea.

Matic completed his move on Monday.

The Serbia, who turns 29 on Tuesday, joins on a three-year deal with an option to extend it by a further year after playing 121 Premier League matches for the Blues, scoring four goals.

Mourinho will be reunited with a player whom he requested during his previous spell at Chelsea.

“Nemanja is a Manchester United player and a Jose Mourinho player. He represents everything we want in a footballer; loyalty, consistency, ambition, team player.

“I would like to thank him for his desire to join us because without that, it would be impossible to have him here. I am sure our players and supporters will love him. A big welcome to our new number 31,” Mourinho told United’s official website.
