Speaking after Thursday’s Premier League match at Old Trafford against rivals Chelsea, Matic, who also spent eight years with the Blues, said: “For me, it was a pleasure, an honour to play at Old Trafford for five years.
“[…] Three more games to play and United will stay forever in my heart, together with Chelsea because I also played for Chelsea.”
“Man Utd will stay forever in my hearts.” ❤️
