Manchester United trigger one-year option in Nemanja Matic’s contract

Manchester United have triggered the one-year option in Nemanja Matic’s contract and are in discussions about a new deal.

Matic had entered the last four months of his contract, but United have tied him to the club until 2021.

The 31-year-old had been open to leaving during the January window but he has forced his way back into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans after a string of impressive performances in the absence of Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay.
