Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has signed a new three-year contract, the club has confirmed.

The 31-year-old Serbian international, who joined from Chelsea in 2017, has made 114 appearances in all competitions so far for United.

“I am very happy that I will continue to be part of this great club,” Matic said upon announcement of the deal. “I still have a lot more to give and achieve in my career and to do that with Manchester United will be a huge honour. This is a really exciting team to be part of, we have a good balance of youth and experience within the squad.”

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: “I am delighted that Nemanja has signed a new contract, I know his experience, professionalism and leadership will be invaluable to this young talented group.

“We have great strength in midfield and Nemanja’s attributes are a key part of that. Nemanja has been here for three seasons now and really understands the values of playing for Manchester United. He remains hugely ambitious and determined which will be vital as we look to achieve our aims over the coming years.”
