Top 10 players who excelled under Jose Mourinho

#7. Nemanja Matic

Matic continues to be Mourinho's most trusted player

A much recent favourite of Jose Mourinho. Matic ably situated himself as the deep-lying midfielder upon Jose's return to Chelsea and went on to win the Premier League, establishing himself as one of his most trusted players.

He followed his manager over to Manchester United and fit into the new club almost effortlessly. The Serbian has been one of the important players in the side for the last few years and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Matic is perhaps Mourinho's idea of a perfect midfield enforcer. Loves to defend, rarely gets caught off possession, crisp in passing and is tactically sound.
