Manchester United or Chelsea? Matic reveals the club that he holds dear to his heart

Nemanja Matic has announced his decision to leave Manchester United at the end of the season, and he played his last game at Old Trafford in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Thursday night.

Matic has enjoyed success in the Premier League, though mostly at Chelsea.

After a stellar career at Chelsea where he won three Premier League titles over two stints, Matic moved to Manchester United in 2017.

After 5 years at Man United, the 33-year-old Serbian still loves Chelsea and while he hailed Manchester United, he also admitted Chelsea would always remain a special club in his heart.

Matic told Sky Sports: “We showed we didn’t give up, we showed some character.

“For me, it has been a pleasure to play at Old Trafford for five years and I will do my best to help the team. United will stay forever in my heart, along with Chelsea.

“There have to be better times ahead. United is a big club, expectations are high.”
