Matic

I have the opposite view.  I believe this move has galvanized Matic and he will be a tremendous asset to Mourinho throughout the entire season.  This will hurt us a hell of a lot.
All transfers are a gamble. This one currently looks to have paid off for Man Ure but it is VERY early days. Thought I was a pessimist but I'm clearly not in your league!

 
Wait till Bakayoko gets up and going, Matic will be a distant hazy memory.

But why do we make things so easy, we could have drawn this out till the end of the window, there seems to be a real lack of tactical nouse in the way we do business. 

 
I watched the game and it was Man Utd being more impressive than West Ham being poor.  Give credit where it's due.  Utd's movement was top class.
if a team has a lack of offensive power to cause much of a threat, then of course utd would look impressive. lanzini and antonio are a big miss for west ham, but west ham were poor. i would rather focus the next 4/5 games to garner any kind of analysis of how good utd really are. i remember liverpool and arsenal looking impressive early on last season, but then they went off the boil. having one impressive game at home against a weakened west ham is no gage of how good utd will be.

That does not deny the fact that Man Utd played imrpressively.  Whether they continue to do so is another matter altogether.  Be objective.

 
Herrera has quickly become one of the most overrated players in the league.

Matic is better than him and will definitely be more of a mainstay than him under Mourinho.


It's either you don't know Herrera or you don't know Matic.
I wouldn't normally do this but you post with such an arrogance and constantly slap down the opinions of other posters with an unwarranted authority as though they've stated that the earth is flat.

That's 3 games as a United player for Matic, Super Cup, he started and finished while Herrera got subbed off. Two PL games Herrera was on the bench while Matic started.

So clearly, I knew all three of Herrera, Matic and more importantly Mourinho than you do.

 
He's doing what he does best, ball recycling and tackling. Occasionally, he ventures forward. 

Good in a possession oriented team which Utd are at the moment so his deficiencies are being masked somewhat. 

 
Have others noticed how Matic seems to be the best thing since sliced pan since he joined mu? Apparently he was also the key to Serbia besting Ireland last night even though I hardly noticed his presence all night. Great PR machine I admit.

P.S. I wasn't a Magic detractor while he was at Chelsea.

 
I'm confident that long-term, we definitely have an upgrade.

Be great if when we play them Matic has an absolute shocker!
