5 reasons why Matic is the best signing of the summer so far

#3 Unleashes Pogba

Matic's signing unleashes Paul Pogba.

In the previous season, Paul Pogba did well in his role, but not enough to justify his £89 million price-tag. Another reason for his low-key season was the need to be tactically disciplined so that the team is not caught out high up the pitch. Matic's arrival resolves that issue.

The Serb is ever-present in the deeper midfield and possesses top game awareness. Thus, Pogba can play his natural game to dominate the opposition and constantly focus on breaching opposition defences.

Further, the 24-year old is no longer the world's most expensive footballer and he is playing with more freedom as a result of it.

Every team's best player needs a foil to unlock their full potential just as one can see in the case of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at their respective clubs. In Pogba, United have a potential Ballon d'Or winner and Matic is the man to unleash him.

Thus, Pogba can now dictate games higher up the pitch while Matic holds fort from behind. This is a potential title-winning combination and this further emphasises why Matic is the best signing so far.
