Nemanja Matic to get new Manchester United deal?

Manchester United are reportedly considering whether to hand a new contract to Nemanja Matic.

While the midfielder has spent much of the opening half of the campaign on the sidelines, a shortage of players in the centre of the pitch has led to the Serbia international featuring over the Christmas and New Year period.

With Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba set for extended periods out of contention, The Sun claims that club officials are willing to offer the 31-year-old fresh terms.

Although United were already due to trigger a 12-month option in his current deal, it appears that the former Chelsea man may be given the chance to extend his stay past the end of next season.

Despite having recently being linked with AC Milan and Inter Milan, neither club are expected to follow up their interest in the January transfer window.
