Nemanja Matic: Manchester United midfielder announces he will leave Old Trafford this summer

Nemanja Matic has confirmed his decision to leave Manchester United this summer.

The former Chelsea midfielder, 33, has a year remaining on his contract at Old Trafford but has indicated his intention to depart the club at the end of the current season after talks with the board, his team-mates and interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

It remains to be seen if United will pursue a transfer for Matic, or if the club - who have agreed a deal in principle for Ajax boss Erik ten Hag to assume the coaching reins next season - intend on agreeing an early termination of the three-year extension he signed in July 2020.
