Matic has hailed manager Jose Mourinho and insisted that he is still a special manager.
The midfielder stated that his record speaks for itself and he believes more success will come his way at United.
Mourinho has been slated for the past few seasons for his seemingly defensive style of play and his poor record against the other top clubs in England. Many United fans have grown frustrated with Mourinho’s approach against particular teams this season and believe this is a large reason for the team being so far behind Manchester City.
The United boss, though, responded in brilliant fashion when Chelsea visited Old Trafford, with a superb tactical performance and win. Goals from Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard handed United a 2-1 victory.
Mourinho won three trophies in his debut season at United and remains in contention for the Champions League and FA Cup this season. Should he be successful in even one of these competitions, it would answer a lot of critics.
Matic, as quoted by Sky Sports, admitted his boss can be very demanding at times but believes this is why he has had the career that he has.
“He always wants the best. He always wants to win. Of course, him as a coach, if you play good he always thinks that you can play better. This is good. He always asks you to do more.”
“I am happy that we work with him and he’s a coach who won many, many trophies in his career and for sure we can learn a lot of things from him. He won many things. The coach is good if he won the trophies. He won in every country he has been, he has won a lot and that’s why they call him special.”
Manchester United are all but out of the Premier League title race, however, they have enjoyed a decent season and it is due to City’s incredibly consistent form that United find themselves trailing behind.
The aim now is to finish in 2nd place, which would be a huge improvement on last season. United head into the run-in against Crystal Palace tomorrow night as they look to start consolidating their place as runners-up. - Read Sport
