Nemanja Matic insists Manchester United 'really did try to do their best' to stop the rot last season... but admits the Red Devils were 'punished' for their lack of organisation on the pitch

Roma star Nemanja Matic has urged that Manchester United 'really did try to do their best' to stop the rot last season.

The Serbian midfielder, who reunited with Jose Mourinho in Rome this summer, endured a disastrous final season at Old Trafford, carving out a dismal sixth-place finish with the Red Devils.

Despite admitting that the pressure was 'huge' at times last campaign, Matic insisted the club did everything they could to escape the miserable run of form.
