Nemanja Matic seems to have taken dig at Chelsea after making his Manchester United debut.

The Serbian midfielder played 45 minutes as Manchester United defeated Sampdoria in a pre-season friendly in Dublin.

Matic completed his ÂŁ40million move to Old Trafford from Chelsea earlier this week.

And after his first game with the Red Devils, he praised his new teammates and appeared to take a small swipe at his ex-club in the process.

“They are amazing. I played in a few clubs in my career, but these guys are amazing,” he said.

“It was strange because the team has played and had a good pre-season.

“And as you know I trained alone in London, and it was strange for me, but I tried to give my best to control the game, give the balance and I think for the first game it was good for me.

“And step by step I think I will be better and better and I hope that I will help the team to achieve something this season.”

Speaking after the game, Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho heaped praise on his newest signing.

“He needs time but [his] experience, intelligence, a genius in the way he thinks – he thinks football,” Mourinho said.

“We will help him to be ready sooner rather than later.”

There has been mixed reactions to Matic’s statement from fans angry to fans just hoping him for the best in the future with his new club.
