Nemanja Matic joins Manchester United.

Europa League champions Manchester United have agreed terms with English Premier League champions Chelsea over the transfer of midfielder Nemanja Matic, with the midfielder due to undergo a medical by Wednesday.

According to the reports, the two clubs have come to an agreement for a deal worth around £40 million, allowing the Serbia international to link up with Jose Mourinho for a second time. Matic was previously snapped up by Mourinho when he was in charge of the Blues in January 2014.

The 28-year-old was a part of the Chelsea side which won the Premier League title in 2015, then played a role in their repeat success in 2017 under Antonio Conte.

Matic is expected to pen a deal worth well in excess of his current £90,000 weekly salary in west London. He will become United’s second signing of the summer following central defender Victor Lindelof’s arrival from Benfica.

Matic’s impending arrival is not expected to directly affect United’s pursuit of Monaco utility man Fabinho, with the Brazilian said to be keen to play largely in his preferred position of right-back as opposed to central midfield.
