Man Utd veteran Matic: I'm happy when McTominay in team

Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has no problem acting as backup for Scott McTominay.

With McTominay fit again and expected to play a role against Watford today, Matic may be squeezed out – but he's not worried.

He said: “Scott is a great player. There is always space in the team for good players. Managers have to decide who is going to play, how we are going to play.

“I am not worried, I am happy when he is in the team because he is the kind of player I like. I like to train with them.

“As a person, he is very good. I am happy he is back and hope he will avoid injuries in the future. The team is a question for the coach!"
