Nemanja Matic has vowed Manchester United cannot present youth as an excuse if they fail to challenge for next season’s Premier League title.
Yet in three years at Old Trafford, Matic, who turned 32 on Saturday, has yet to capture a trophy with United. But United’s squad is chock-full of experience too, so in Matic’s eyes there is no reason for them not to battle for top honours. “We always need to try to do the best for this club, which we are doing at the moment, and I think we cannot allow any club to win the league seven or 10 games before the season finishes. So we have to fight until the end.”Liverpool had seven games to spare when they clinched the Premier League title in June, and United ended the season 33 points adrift of their perennial foes, despite going 14 matches unbeaten in the competition at the end of the campaign.
