Former Chelsea midfielder lined up for Man United move
Posted Thursday, April 04, 2013 by Talksport.co.uk
Manchester United are tracking the progress of Benfica's former Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic.
The 24-year-old Serbian shares the same first name and nationality as current Old Trafford favourite Nemanja Vidic and that could be a crucial element to a possible deal.
Benfica are top of the Portuguese league and their abundance of goals would not have been possible without unselfish Matic providing a solid foundation at the base of the midfield.
Matic joined Chelsea in 2009 but was sold to Benfica two years later, after just two league appearances and a season-long loan to Vitesse, as part of the deal that took David Luiz to Stamford Bridge.
Now the left-footed star has realised his early potential and United could get one over their Premier League rivals by bringing him back to the Premier League.
