The 31-year-old defensive midfielder has been unable to nail down a first-team spot under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the Old Trafford stadium this season.
Atletico Madrid are set to rival the likes AC Milan to try and acquire the services of Nemanja Matic from Manchester United in January, reports ESPN FC
The 31-year-old midfielder has been playing in the Premier League for over five seasons since his £40m move from the Portuguese side S.L Benfica in the winter transfer window of 2014.
After spending three seasons at Chelsea, with whom the lanky Serbian won two Premier League titles, Matic shifted his allegiances to Manchester United following the appointment of Jose Mourinho by the Red Devils.
His two-and-a-bit year stay at the Old Trafford stadium has been largely unimpressive, with the 31-year-old unable to impress the club’s fans who regularly question his slow build-up play. However, as evident from the interest various clubs are showing in his signature, Matic still has the chance to prove his doubters wrong.
