Matic: Let's keep going now
Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic was delighted with Saturday’s 4-1 win over Newcastle and says the Reds are now looking to kick on ahead of a busy schedule to come.
United ended the day at the top of the Premier League following a convincing win over the Magpies at Old Trafford, a game in which the Serbian played the 90 minutes at the heart of the midfield.
The victory, on our return from the international break, backed up a solid and unbeaten start to the season in the Premier League for Matic and co, who picked up seven points from a possible nine in August and another three on Saturday.
