Fulham enjoyed a wildly successful 2020/21 campaign, gaining automatic promotion to the Premier League and being crowned Sky Bet Championship Champions.

Matic, meanwhile, despite being 33-years-old, still featured 32 times for United this season across all competitions.

23 of those performances came in the Premier League, and eight in the Champions League, demonstrating the kind of experience and ability that Matic could potentially bring to Craven Cottage.

Manchester United play their final match of the season against Crystal Palace today, after which the Serbian midfielder's next steps will likely become a lot clearer.

The Verdict

There are positives and negatives that come with a potential move for Nemanja Matic to Fulham this summer.

The Cottagers are clearly looking to add ability and experience to their ranks, which he possesses, however, at 33-years-old, and likely a big wage demand, Fulham should perhaps steer clear of this one.

The Cottagers have been promoted before, tried to throw money at it and things have not worked out, so they must be meticulous and clever in their transfer business this summer if they are to survive in the top-flight next campaign.

Sure, if Matic was coming in as a squad player on affordable wages, this would be a decent signing, but in the twilight of his career and likely to demand a significant salary, there will be better and more cost-effective options out there for Marco Silva's side this summer.
