Matic warns United rivals “I will be better”

The Serbian midfielder has impressed for the Red Devils following his summer move from Chelsea, but he claims that there is still more to come

Nemanja Matic has impressed for Manchester United since making a £40 million move, but has warned the club’s rivals that there is still more to come.

The Serbia international moved to Old Trafford over the summer, with Jose Mourinho raiding former club Chelsea to secure a reunion with a two-time Premier League title winner Matic has settled quickly in new surroundings, with his presence credited with helping to transform United into serious contenders for the top-flight crown.



He has allowed those around him to flourish while filling a holding role, but the 29-year-old claims that he can get even better as he continues to build his fitness.
"I didn't have pre-season," Matic told reporters on his summer.

"I trained alone. I can feel it in some parts of the game! My body is not ready yet and I have some difficulty, of course, but I try to hide that and to play simple.

 I will be better.

"We know what we have to do because we are Manchester United and we are focused just on the next game. Always the next game is the most important, so game by game we have to collect points and next May we will see. It's a long way to go."
