Jose Mourinho: 'Nemanja Matic is perfect for Manchester United'

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho describes new signing Nemanja Matic as the perfect player to move to Old Trafford.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said that Nemanja Matic possesses each of the values that he looks for in a player.

On Monday afternoon, United announced that Matic had penned a three-year contract after deciding to leave Chelsea for a fee reported to be somewhere in the region of £40m.

It sees Matic link up with his former manager at Stamford Bridge, and Mourinho is delighted to have completed a deal for the Serbian international.

Mourinho told the club'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 follows Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku in signing for United during the summer transfer window.
