So I think United do need a holding midfield player. "Morgan Schneiderlin was let go earlier in the season and Bastian Schweinsteiger didn't get a game."So you're talking about there needing to be a replacement for them and ultimately Matic would fit the bill." Matic helped Chelsea to the Premier League title in 2016-17, the second time he has claimed that particular trophy since being brought back to England by Mourinho in January 2014. The 28-year-old impressed alongside N’Golo Kante, with Cesc Fabregas providing a further option, and Neville is surprised to see Antonio Conte considering a sale.He added: "It's a strange one for Chelsea to let him go because I thought he was really good for them with Kante. "I think they need to strengthen, so I'm not sure why they're letting him and they must have a replacement."Chelsea have been heavily linked with Monaco’s Tiemoue Bakayoko, with that interest sparking the Matic to United talk.The Red Devils are also said to be considering the Frenchman, though, along with Tottenham’s England international Eric Dier.</blockquote>
