Nemanja Matic has revealed Manchester United encouraged him to join social media.

While many experts have warned against the use of social media for the sake of mental health, Matic admits United WANTED him to join Instagram.

He revealed to the Telegraf: "United told me it was good because of the image, because of the relationship with the fans.

"It was optional, but I said 'ok, let's try'.

"I think it can be used to convey a nice message to young people, but these social networks have their downsides. That's my opinion.

"But if used wisely, it should not be bad."
