Fake News: Nemanja Matic Vows to Never Speak to Serbian Media Again After Branislav Ivanovic Story

Manchester United defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic has vowed to never speak to the Serbian media ever again, after denouncing claims made in the press about a feud between him and former Chelsea teammate Branislav Ivanovic.

Matic had been reported in his home country as being the "ringleader" of a certain section of players in the Serbia national side who have been jeering defender Ivanovic.

Ivanovic, who played alongside Matic at Chelsea and won the Premier League title in with him under Jose Mourinho in 2015, was relieved of the Serbia armband by manager Mladen Krstajic last week and replaced by Aleksandar Kolarov, without explanation.
