The Tunisia international, who represented the Eagles of Carthage at the 2021 Arab Cup and this year’s Africa Cup of Nations, has been a regular at first-team training since returning from the latter tournament in Cameroon.
He made his second senior appearance for the Reds with a cameo performance in defeat at Liverpool last month and will no doubt be hoping for more minutes under Erik ten Hag once the Dutchman takes charge at Old Trafford.
Matic, who has announced he will leave the Reds after five years’ service, rates the 19-year-old highly and is looking forward to seeing how he develops.
