Nemanja Matic is desperate to see fans return to the soccer fields as soon as possible and add to his spoils of Premier League winners’ medals.
The Manchester United midfielder impressed in a 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Everton in the middle of the week and has been a solid member of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad for the past two seasons.
And having won two league titles with Chelsea, the Serbian star is desperate to repeat the trick with United. Solskjaer’s men are being touted as potential title contenders after a great period of form in the last month. But Matic would love to play a title challenge in front of the fans, if possible.
“It all comes down to having matches that look like carbon copies of each other, that resemble training sessions without fans in stadiums,” Matic told Reuters.
“The coronavirus pandemic has made circumstances very different and I’m sure Liverpool would never have lost to Aston Villa 7-2 if the fans had been there.
“Soccer has survived, the league is on the move but I really miss the noise and the reaction from the stands.”
As for the title, with United five points behind leader Liverpool with one game less, Matic is ruling out nothing. He thinks it would be a great achievement for United.
“It would certainly amount to making another dream come true after winning two titles at Chelsea,” added Matic.
“If we had a slice of good fortune and won the Premier League title, we would be on par with what I achieved at Chelsea. I am in good shape and I hope to continue playing at the highest level for another four or five years ”.
