Matic turned down a winter exit

As usual, the end of the market in the big leagues brings to light some of the intricacies of the winter window. In the case of 31-year-old midfielder Nemanja Matic, it was revealed on Sunday that he was close to leaving Manchester United in January.

The Telegraph, a British newspaper, reported that this was the case. According to this information, the Serbian player rejected this possibility and told the directors of the Mancunian club, since he wishes to continue wearing the 'red devil' shirt with pride. 

This is the Balkan's third consecutive season at Old Trafford, but the midfielder hopes it will not be his last. Matic has already met with the club's directors to tell them he wants to renew the contract that links the two sides, which is expiring in June this year.

The midfielder has accumulated 1,307 minutes so far this year in 17 games, 15 of which he has played as a starter. He has scored one goal and given two assists. His future is uncertain, although he has already expressed his desire to continue with the club.
