A number of Manchester United supporters have sent a string of 'good luck' messages to Nemanja Matic after he completed his move to Italian giants Roma on Tuesday.
The Serbian, who has been reunited with Jose Mourinho for a third time, announced in April that he would be leaving Old Trafford when his contract expired at the end of this season. He is one of 11 players who will officially leave the club when his contract reaches its conclusion on June 30.

"I hope that by working together we are able to achieve some great things."
Matic, who made 32 appearances for the Reds throughout the 2021/22 campaign, was a popular figure during his time at Old Trafford, often recognised and appreciated for his levels of hard work and commitment to the cause.
