Given United's poor performances in the Premier League this season, the club's rebuilding of the squad has become inevitable. There will be a lot of players leaving Old Trafford this summer, and Red Devils veteran Nemanja Matic is one of the players who will be purged by the club.
Although Nemanja Matic has one year left on his contract with Manchester United, the club is ready to clear him out of the squad this summer as the 34-year-old Serbian veteran is not in the squad building plans of the new coach Tenhag.
Nemanja Matic has been one of the most diligent players in The Manchester United squad for the past two seasons, the Serbian veteran who joined Manchester United in 2017 when he moved from Chelsea, but he has never played at Old Trafford at the height of the Blues that year due to injury problems.
Recently, according to a number of British media reports, Matic will be the first to clean up the Manchester United club this summer, although Matic's defensive ability can bring great help to Manchester United's midfield, but plagued by injuries, his appearances at Old Trafford in recent seasons have been very limited.
With the team set to rebuild across the board this summer, United need to sell Matic to free up space for new signings to bring in.
Manchester United's new boss Tenhag is reportedly interested in bringing in Serie A midfielder Mirinkovic Savage as a replacement for Nemanja Matic. The 27-year-old Serbian midfielder has been linked to Manchester United for years.
It is reported that during Mourinho's time at Manchester United, the Portuguese manager had wanted to replace Pogba with Milinkovic, but Pogba had not yet left Old Trafford, and Mourinho was first sacked by the club.
With Tenhag becoming United manager, Milinkovic's joining the Red Devils has been brought up again, and many believe that he can still be used as a replacement for Pogba.
Recently, the news from the Italian sports media "Transfer Market" said that Milinkovic is ready to leave Lazio, and he will make his own decision in the next 30 days, whether to join Manchester United or go to France to join The Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.
It's no secret that United's midfielders are now very weak and they continue to bring in a defensive midfielder who is healthy enough to play every week. Instead of being injured and stopped like Nemanja Matic, he has never been able to be the main player of the team.
Lazio's manager, Maurizio Sarri, also hopes to sell Milinkovic this summer to get enough money to strengthen the team. In such a situation, Milinkovic's departure from Serie A has become a high probability event. The entry of Paris Saint-Germain has added a lot of difficulty to Manchester United to introduce the Serbian midfielder.
