Nemanja Matic admits former club Benfica are 'always in the heart' as Manchester United midfielder leaves the door open for potential return to Portuguese side

Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic refused to rule out a return to former club Benfica in the future and admitted they are 'always in the heart'.

Matic left Chelsea to join the Portuguese side in 2011 before moving back to Stamford Bridge in 2014. He made the switch to Old Trafford in 2017 and last summer he signed a new deal that will keep him at United until 2023.

The 32-year-old insisted he is not thinking about leaving the Red Devils any time soon but, when asked about where he would like to finish his career, he left the door open for a potential return to Portugal.
