MATIC TO UNITED? VERMAELEN TO TOON?
Having already been bought by Jose Mourinho twice before, the bookies fancy that Nemanja Matic will be following the Portuguese to Old Trafford before the summer transfer window slams shut.
He had his first stint with the Blues before the turn of the current decade and succeeded in making just two Premier League appearances before Vitesse and later Benfica offered to give him something Abrahamovic’s philosophy of squad building (i.e. buying world class footballers instead of promoting from within), would never permit, the chance to have a consistent run of match appearances.
Although Matic’s stay with the Primeira Liga giants yielded both happy and sad times as the team won a couple of Portugal’s league championships, the back to back Europa League final losses did enough to impress the rest of europe with the progress made by the club as a whole.
