After Serbia's exit from the World Cup in the group stage, United fan Janna Milosevic discusses her pride in Nemanja Matic and picks a compatriot she feels the Reds should sign...

Which country are you representing and why?

I support Serbia because it’s where I’m from.

How would you sum up your feelings about the World Cup using emojis only?

😍

Which United star do you think will shine brightest during this World Cup?

My favourite player is Jesse Lingard.

Jesse Lingard has been a key player in England's World Cup campaign so far.

Have you ever been to Old Trafford?

No, but it’s my biggest dream to visit the Theatre of Dreams.

Which player from your national team would you love to see in a United shirt?

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Jenna also told us of her pride at having seen two Nemanjas represent United...

I started supporting United nine years ago and now I’m 17. I enjoy watching the team playing. The reason I started watching football is Nemanja Vidic. He is my biggest idol. He always gave 120 per cent in every game. No defender could replace him. I’m so proud he is from my country and it is a pleasure to know a Serbian guy achieved great things. He represented our country in the best possible way. Now, I’m glad this team has another Nemanja. This time it is Matic, who is doing great for United so far. As you can see, we Serbs are fighters. We won’t ever leave the game without giving everything we could. So, I decided to take a picture of myself in Belgrade, beside the monument of Victor, as a symbol of success, effort and victory.
