Man Utd outcast offered £5m-a-year deal by MLS club
Nemanja Matic is in talks with MLS side Chicago Fire about a lucrative move.
Manchester United’s midfield enforcer will be on his way out at the end of his contract this summer.
And the exit door may even open in the next few weeks.
Chicago plan to make Serbian Matic their ‘designated signing’ and are talking about a £5million-a-year contract.
The former Chelsea star, 31, appeals to Chicago because they have a large Eastern European fan base in their area, as well as being a key player on the pitch.
They want Matic to take over from another former United midfielder, German Bastian Schweinsteiger, who extended his career in America.
If the Matic move stalls, Chicago will switch to Bayern Munich’s Spaniard Javi Martinez as they plot to spend big cash on the anchorman role.

Matic has been slowly phased out at United in recent months. He is being used now because Scott McTominay is injured.
United will have the final say on whether Matic leaves for the start of the MLS season on February 29. He may be needed as an emergency centre-half.
