Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic could be set for a surprise exit from the Premier League, with French side Lyon reportedly keen on securing his services.
The Serbian international, who has been a key figure at Old Trafford since joining from Chelsea in 2017, is said to be in discussions with the Ligue 1 club over a potential move.
Matic's Potential Departure
Sources suggest that Lyon are preparing an offer for the 35-year-old, whose contract with United expires at the end of the season. Matic has struggled for regular game time under Erik ten Hag this campaign, making just 12 appearances across all competitions.
What This Means for Man Utd
Should Matic depart, it would leave United light in midfield, particularly given the ongoing uncertainty around Paul Pogba's future. The Red Devils may need to dip into the transfer market to find a replacement.
Lyon's Midfield Reinforcements
For Lyon, signing an experienced campaigner like Matic could provide valuable leadership in their push for European qualification. The French club currently sit mid-table in Ligue 1 and are looking to strengthen their squad.
Matic brings a wealth of Premier League and Champions League experience, having won two league titles with Chelsea before his move to Manchester.
