Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has hinted that Nemanja Matic was sold to Manchester United against his wishes.
Matic made the surprise move over to Old Trafford for £40m at the end of last month, reuniting the Serbian with his old boss Jose Mourinho.
peaking in a recent interview with Sky Sports, the Italian boss described Matic’s departure as “a great loss” for the club but one that he had to “accept”.
“Matic knows very well what I think about him,” he said. “The importance for me about this player, who is a really good player, a top player, very important for our team, but sometimes you must accept this crazy transfer market.
“And sometimes you must accept different decisions. But he is a great loss for us.”
