Three replacements of Nemanja Matic at Manchester United

The
Serbian
midfielder
joined
the
Red
Devils
in
2017
on
a
massive
deal
costing
them
40
million
pounds
when
Mourinho
was
in
charge
at
Old
Trafford.

Even
though
Matic
has
not
been
an
automatic
starter
for
Manchester
United
over
the
years,
he
played
fairly
regularly
under
Ralf
Rangnick
towards
the
end
of
the
last
season.

With
Paul
Pogba
also
departing,
there
is
a
massive
void
to
fill
at
the
heart
of
the
Red
Devils
midfield.

Here,
we
will
take
a
look
at
three
possible
replacements
of
Matic
the
Red
Devils
could
target.

Declan
Rice
–
West
Ham
United

Rice
has
been
a
player
widely
linked
with
a
number
of
Premier
League
clubs
including
Manchester
United.
The
England
international
has
established
himself
as
one
of
the
best
in
his
position
and
West
Ham
United
reportedly
value
him
at
a
whooping
150
million
pounds.
Rice
played
36
games
last
season
for
the
Hammers
scoring
once
and
assisting
four
times
in
the
process.
A
strong
tackler
and
a
solid
passer,
Rice
has
everything
in
his
locker
to
replace
Matic.

Kalvin
Phillips
–
Leeds
United

Another
player
who
has
been
widely
linked
with
a
move
this
summer
is
Rice’s
midfield
partner
in
England
shirt,
Phillips.

The
Leeds
United
star
had
a
injury-ravaged
season
which
hurt
the
Whites
badly
as
they
were
dragged
into
the
relegation
scrap
for
the
majority
of
the
season.
Valued
at
60
million
pounds,
Phillips
is
wanted
by
Manchester
City
and
Liverpool
as
well.

Frenkie
de
Jong
–
Barcelona

Barcelona
superstar
De
Jong
could
reportedly
be
on
the
move
this
summer
with
the
Catalan
giants
looking
to
balance
their
books.
De
Jong
has
been
widely
linked
with
a
switch
to
Old
Trafford
with
his
former
Ajax
boss
Erik
ten
Hag
in
charge
at
Manchester
United
right
now.
Barcelona
could
reportedly
sell
the
incredibly
gifted
Dutchman
this
summer
and
he
would
be
a
world
class
addition
to
the
Red
Devils.
