Erik ten Hag has already been confirmed as the next manager of Manchester United and it looks like the squad could be set to undergo a massive overhaul in the summer with the arrival of the Dutchman. And it is required as well, with the Red Devils set to finish their fifth straight season without a single piece of silverware.

Manchester United have several players in their ranks who do not appear to have much of a long-term future at Old Trafford. Nemanja Matic is one of them.

Matic has already announced that he intends to leave Manchester United at the end of this season. He is no longer a first-team regular for the Red Devils and could be helped by a move away from Old Trafford as he enters the twilight of his playing career.

It looks like a reunion with Jose Mourinho might potentially be on the cards for Matic. As reported by CalcioMercato, his name has been proposed to AS Roma recently.

Could Matic reunite with Mourinho at AS Roma after leaving Manchester United?

Mourinho is a player that Matic shares a long history with. It was during the Portuguese’s time as Chelsea manager that he arrived at Stamford Bridge for a second time and then, he would spend time playing under his management at Manchester United.

Through the course of Matic’s career, it has felt like Mourinho is the manager who has been able to get the best out of him. And when he leaves Manchester United, a move to AS Roma seems like a decent step to take for the Serbian.

A number of Premier League veterans have left for Serie A in recent years and enjoyed great success there despite being in the last phase of their playing careers. On the other hand, AS Roma seem to be a team on the rise and it is certainly an exciting project to be a part of for any player right now.

Thus, do not be surprised if you see Matic playing for AS Roma come next season.
