Matic gave a thanks to Chelsea in his first interview as a Manchester United player today.
The Serb becomes Manchester United’s third major signing of the summer after Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof.
He won two Premier League titles with the Blues as well as an FA Cup and the League Cup.
But the lure of working under Jose Mourinho – the man who brought him back to Chelsea in 2014 – was too much to turn down.
Matic said: “I am delighted to have joined Manchester United. To work with Jose Mourinho once again was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.
“I have enjoyed my time at Chelsea and would like to thank the club and the fans for their support. I cannot wait to meet my new team-mates and to start training with them.
“This is a very exciting time for the club and I am looking forward to playing my part in creating more history for this great club.”
