Nemanja Matic

I am always positive.

I recognise fully why people wear poppies, I totally respect everyone's right to do so and I have total sympathy for anyone who has lost loved ones due to conflict.

When you don't have results it is very difficult for players to have that high confidence.

In the defensive midfield position, the player needs to give balance to the team and try to control the game. That's exactly what I try to do.

I always watch Chelsea games when I have the time and step-by -step, game-by-game, Chelsea is growing. I speak with Branislav Ivanovic, my friend and international team-mate a lot, a few times each month, so I know everything about the club.

I have enjoyed my time at Chelsea and would like to thank the club and the fans for their support.

I am a simple guy, most of the time I am with my family, my wife and my son. I like to be with them and they make me happy.

I had other offers, but Mourinho is Mourinho. It's exciting to work with him, he is the best coach in the world and I want to work with him for a long time.

I am delighted to have joined Manchester United. To work with Jose Mourinho once again was an opportunity I couldn't turn down.

I just have to improve here at Chelsea. I played in Portugal but here it is a higher level so I'm sure I can improve a lot and I will work hard every day.

The Manchester derby, for our supporters, is the most important game in the season. Always, a few days before the game, the people create that atmosphere that is special to them.
