Nemanja Matic has hinted that there is the possibility of him departing Manchester United in the January transfer window.
Matic’s deal at United will expire at the end of the season but he has admitted that he could make an early cut.

United would likely allow Matic to leave on a free, as opposed to taking a small fee, if he was to agree terms elsewhere.
This season, he had made just eight appearances for United, with his only start coming in the 2-0 win over Burnley last weekend.
Spanish club Atletico Madrid are believed to be among the teams interested in his services.
“I don’t know what to say. I have a contract for another six months, we’ll see in January what’s going to happen,”
Matic told the Telegraf
“Will I extend the contract or try to find something else?
“United have some option to extend my contract, but we will see if the plans of the club match my plans. I couldn’t say anything more because I don’t really know either.”
Serbian international Matic joined United in July 2017 during the reign of Jose Mourinho.
He has gone on to make 95 appearances, scoring three times and making four assists in the period.
Last month, it was hinted that Matic could link up with Mourinho for a third time – having also played under him at Chelsea – after the Portuguese boss took over at Tottenham .
Matic is said to be keen on a January switch to boost his chances of being a starter for Serbia at the European Championships next summer.
