Manchester United activated a one-year contract extension for Nemanja Matic.

The club is expected to negotiate a longer term deal for the 31-year-old midfielder.

Matic has established himself as a first-team midfielder next to Fred. 

Matic said that several teams were looking to sign him over the winter window. 

"I can't tell who is asking for me but for sure, when you play at Manchester United, many clubs are looking to sign you," he said to reporters. "That's not only me, it's for every player – especially when you're out of contract.

"My first option is Manchester United, but if they decide something else then there are always solutions."
