5 Manchester United players who have improved the most under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

#4 Nemanja Matic

Nemanja Matic

After a stellar first season, the Serbian seemed to have slowed down this time. He looked off the pace in almost every game under Mourinho this time, and struggled against far lesser opponents. He had been so poor at times that even his continued selection was not justified, however, it now seems that maybe it was not just the player, but the style of play that had been the crux of the problem.

Solskjaer continued with Matic in his team, a selection that raised a few eyebrows in the first game. In a refreshing change, the Serbian was an assured presence against Cardiff, as United got back to winning ways and goal scoring form.

Matic was decent in the middle, but it was only the dawn of better days ahead. The Serbian has improved with every game and as his confidence returned, so did his wide range of passing. Against Bournemouth, Matic was exceptional and his vision was a treat to watch.

Having the assured presence of Herrera alongside him has certainly helped, but the Serbian has improved a lot under Solskjaer, and in turn, Matic has made United better.
