Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer is amazed Chelsea sold Nemanja Matic to Manchester United.

Shearer has been left stunned by Chelsea's decision to let Matic join Manchester United.

"Nemanja Matic is another excellent signing. I was amazed Chelsea let him join one of their rivals, a team that are trying to catch them up.

"From what he has been saying this week, Blues boss Antonio Conte was surprised it was allowed to happen too - especially because Tiemoue Bakayoko is still not fit.

"I know Matic is 29 and cost £40m, but he has got at least another two or three good years left in him, and he is exactly what United needed in midfield.

"Having him in the team will give Paul Pogba more freedom to get forward and I am expecting to see an improvement from him."
