PASSING
In the passing department, Matic made his mark last season, garnering 7 assists. Six of them came in between August and November. The Serbian's ability to produce successful long-balls while sitting deep in the midfield poses a great danger for the opponents.
His 88% pass accuracy also brightens up his CV as a central midfielder. Also, Matic has better vision than both Bakayoko and Drinkwater when it comes to distribution of the ball. No midfielder made more tackles and interceptions combined (540) than Matic since he joined Chelsea in January 2014. That certainly is the cherry on the cake for United fans!
