Manchester United have completed the signing of NemanjaMatic from Chelsea, his new club have announced.

The midfielder, who turns 29 on August 1, joins on a three-year deal with an option to extend it by a further year after playing 121 Premier League matches for the Blues, scoring four goals.

While United declined to state how much they have paid for the midfielder, to take him to Old Trafford.

Matic made 30 starts in Antonio Conte’s first season at Stamford Bridge, with CescFabregas largely playing second fiddle to the Serbian as the club’s central midfielders vied for a spot alongside N’GoloKante.

And while Chelsea’s upcoming season will be far busier than last due to having qualified for the Champions League, the arrival of TiemoueBakayoko puts Matic’s long-term future at the club in doubt.

For Manchester United’s part, Jose Mourinho will be reunited with a player whom he requested during his previous spell at Chelsea, and will look to Matic to provide depth in a squad that he feels is still not complete.

Mourinho told United’s official website: "Nemanja is a Manchester United player and a Jose Mourinho player. He represents everything we want in a footballer; loyalty, consistency, ambition, team player.

"I would like to thank him for his desire to join us because without that, it would be impossible to have him here. I am sure our players and supporters will love him. A big welcome to our new number 31."

Matic added: "I am delighted to have joined Manchester United. To work with Jose Mourinho once again was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.

"I have enjoyed my time at Chelsea and would like to thank the club and the fans for their support. I cannot wait to meet my new team-mates and to start training with them.

Man City will let AleksandarKolarov leave club to join Roma

Manchester City defender AleksandarKolarov will be allowed to leave to pursue a move to Serie A club Roma.

The 31-year-old, who joined City from Roma’s rivals Lazio for £16m in 2010, was left out of Thursday’s 2-0 friendly defeat by Manchester United.

After the game, City boss Pep Guardiola said: "I don’t like working with people who don’t want to stay. He has a big chance to go to Roma.

"He has said he wants to leave. I wish him all the best."

Full-back Kolarov, a Serbia international, has played 247 times for City.

This summer City have signed right-back Kyle Walker from Tottenham, with the club keen to add Real Madrid’s 26-year-old full-back Danilo, also a target for Chelsea.

They have also been linked with a bid for Monaco left-back Benjamin Mendy, while a move for DaniAlves broke down as the 34-year-old joined Paris St-Germain.
