Matic risks wrath of Chelsea supporters
by claiming that Manchester United are
the biggest Club he's ever played for
The 29-year-old midfielder made 154
appearances across two spells at Stamford
Bridge but completed a £40million transfer
to Old Trafford this summer to join up with
former manager Jose Mourinho once again.
The Serbian told Sky Sports: ‘He [Mourinho]
was very important for me.
Matic has now revealed that Mourinho was
instrumental in his decision to quit the Blues
at the end of last month and admitted that
he had made up his mind as soon as
United’s interest became concrete.
‘He bought me to Chelsea from Benfica and
now when I decided to come to Manchester,
he was a reason to come here.
‘Mourinho was the reason and so was the club,
Manchester United, so you don’t need to think
a lot about if you are going to come. My
decision was very quick and very clear.’
Matic risked the wrath of Chelsea supporters
when asked if United were the biggest club
he has played for.
He responded: ‘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.’
