Manchester United star Nemanja Matic has outlined the process behind his switch from attacking to defensive midfield.
In a revealing interview in the new edition of Inside United, the official club magazine, he recalled the explanation given to him by Benfica coach Jorge Jesus for a move to the no.6 role.
Matic has made the position his own and enjoyed a fine start to life at Old Trafford, not looking back after receiving the advice from his former boss.
"When I started to play football, my dream was to play as an attacking midfielder and to score goals," he admitted.
