LEAKED: Nemanja Matic ‘pictured in Man United shirt’ for the first time

The Serbian midfielder is set to complete a move to the Red Devils, and a leaked image shows the player in the United training kit

A leaked image appears to show Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic in a Manchester United shirt for the first time.

The Serbian midfielder has been the source of much speculation this transfer window, and an image has appeared on the internet which suggests the deal is pretty much done.

The text below the picture loosely translates to meaning ‘First-hand information’ in Serbian.

If the image were correct, Matic would be taking the number 31 shirt, vacated last season by Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The deal is thought to be worth around £40million plus add-ons.

United boss Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the 28-year-old from their days working together at Stamford Bridge and wants him as his holding midfielder.

Matic was left out of Chelsea’s pre-season tour of Asia and has been working on his fitness at the club’s Cobham training ground.
