Nemanja Matic agrees new deal to stay at Manchester United following Serbian's remarkable turnaround in form under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United’s Nemanja Matic has completed a remarkable turnaround in fortunes by agreeing a new deal to stay at Old Trafford.

Matic, 31, looked certain to leave the club earlier this season when he struggled for form and fitness and was regarded by fans as a symbol of the previous unpopular Jose Mourinho regime.

However, the Serbian midfielder’s reintroduction to the first XI in December coincided with improved results for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side and talks have taken place successfully about extending a contract due to expire in the summer.
