Nemanja Matic has said Manchester United are ‘definitely’ a bigger club than Chelsea
Nemanja Matic has now seemed to sever all ties with Chelsea by saying that Manchester United are the biggest club he’s ever played for.
The 29-year-old star made a 154 appearances in two season at Stamford Bridge before completing a £40million transfer to Old Trafford this summer to join up with past manager Jose Mourinho again.
The Serbian told Sky Sports: ‘He [Mourinho] was very important for me.
‘He bought me to Chelsea from Benfica and now when I decided to come to Manchester, he was a reason to come here.
‘Mourinho was the reason and so was the club, Manchester United, so you don’t need to think a lot about if you are going to come. My decision was very quick and very clear.’
Matic risked the wrath of Chelsea supporters when asked if United were the biggest club he has played for.
He responded: ‘Definitely, everyone knows what Manchester United is about.
‘When you say Manchester United, it is different. Also Chelsea is a big club, Benfica are the biggest club in Portugal. But Manchester is Manchester.
