Last week, MJ officially announced the signing of Matic for 40 million pounds.

According to Neville, the desire to acquire a Serb from the side of the Red Devils is understandable, but Gary did not understand why the Blues parted with Nemanja.

"From the side of Chelsea it was strange to let go of Matic. It seemed to me that their connection with Cante was quite good, and now the Londoners need to strengthen ".

"I do not know why they sold it, but now their members are waiting for a change".

"United needed a defensive midfielder, and Matic suited for this role. Michael Carrick can not play more every week, because they needed a player who can perform the same functions, "- concluded Gary.

In the season that ended Matic scored one goal and gave up eight assists in 35 Premier League matches.
