I hope not,' and then it happened. I couldn’t believe it.” Ex-United midfielder Paul Scholes agreed with the assessment. “He's had a great start at United. He's been aggressive, he gets to the ball, he tackles. He's done well so far,” he said. Matic has played 12 matches so far this season for the Old Trafford side and has yet to score his first goal for them.</blockquote>
