Defensive Midfielder
Arrived on 31st July 2017
Signed for Man United
£40 Million
Hands down, the greatest transfer this season came at Manchester United when midfielder Nemanja Matic signed for a £40 Million fee. He will now play under manager Jose Mourinho who had previously signed him at Chelsea.
