"United is a big club, a fantastic club, and to be honest, I felt like I needed to have United on my CV. Matic, right, had two spells at Chelsea (Image credit: Chelsea FC via Getty Images) "I felt very honoured and privileged to represent them and, even today, I still think I made the right decision. "For me, United and Real Madrid are historically the two biggest clubs.""
"Despite signing for the Red Devils in the troubled post-Ferguson era, Matic's time at Old Trafford served his legacy well. He played for United for five seasons and scored some spectacular goals from midfield before departing for Roma in 2022. Matic, who also won both domestic cups as a Chelsea player and a Portuguese championship with Benfica, is still going strong at the age of 37."
Nemanja Matic has played for major European clubs including Chelsea, Benfica, Manchester United, Roma, Rennes, Lyon, and Sassuolo. He left Chelsea early via Vitesse before returning from Benfica to win two Premier League titles. Jose Mourinho persuaded him to join Manchester United, where he signed during the post-Ferguson era and spent five seasons, scoring notable midfield goals. He also won both domestic cups with Chelsea and a Portuguese championship with Benfica. Matic remained active at age 37, moving from Roma to Rennes in 2023, then Lyon, and later returning to Serie A with Sassuolo.
