Nemanja Matic will head into the "most important" game in Serbia's history dreaming of World Cup qualification and the Premier League title.
The 29-year-old has enjoyed an impressive start to life at Manchester United after Jose Mourinho paid £40 million to lure him north from Chelsea.
However, while helping to restore United to the pinnacle of the English game is a major focus, edging Serbia closer to next summer's World Cup finals in Russia will be his overriding concern when he runs out to face Republic of Ireland in a Group D showdown on Tuesday evening.
"It is the most important game for us in this qualification and maybe in our football history in Serbia," Matic said.
