The midfielder, who left Manchester United for Roma in the summer, has responded to criticism from Roy Keane earlier this year - in rather strong fashion.

Nemanja Matic has completed his transfer from Manchester United to AS Roma, reuniting with Jose Mourinho on a one-year contract.

The midfielder will sign a contract in which he will halve the salary he was picking up at Old Trafford.

The defensive midfielder is ready to leave the Premier League behind him but will not be stepping entirely into the unknown.

Matic's Man Utd career is about to end but for another midfielder things are just getting started.

The Serbian midfielder will be leaving Manchester United this summer and a Jose Mourinho reunion is possible.

Mourinho hailed Matic as a "fantastic player" and spoke of "trust" when asked about bringing him to Roma this summer.
