Ideal Option: Thomas Partey
Here is a player who has gone from strength to strength since leaving his homeland. Partey is now well and truly one of the best defensive midfielders in the world, having grown leaps and bounds since breaking into Los Rojiblancos’ first-team setup

For years, Atletico Madrid have been arguably the most robust side in the world. And, Partey has been a key component in ensuring that the Spanish giants have frustrated opponent after opponent with their unorthodox style of play.

To Home: Wilfred Ndidi
Unlike our first option, Ndidi is not going to be at the peak of his powers anytime soon. However, the Nigerian midfielder would be a fine alternative to Partey, if Manchester United are considering their options to sign a long-term replacement for Matic
Unlike our first option, Ndidi is not going to be at the peak of his powers anytime soon. However, the Nigerian midfielder would be a fine alternative to Partey, if Manchester United are considering their options to sign a long-term replacement for Matic
Brought in to the King Power Stadium back in 2017, Ndidi has gone on to do the unfathomable – become the successor to N’Golo Kante that Leicester City had been desperately looking for since the Frenchman’s departure to Chelsea. #MUFC
Now one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League, Ndidi has been arguably the most vital cog for Leicester this season, with the Foxes chasing Champions League football. In fact, such has been his impact, that Leicester have looked a shell of their best whenever.
Home Recruit: James Garner
Names like Denis Zakaria, Marquinhos, Boubakary Soumare and Eduardo Camavinga are all fine options worth considering for Manchester United. However, a potential long-term solution to succeed Matic could be sourced from within the club. #MUFC

James Garner is a player who has been held in high regard in the youth setup at Manchester United for years now. Showing maturity well beyond his years, the teenager has long been touted to become a regular in the first-team setup at Old Trafford
Garner, though, had been a part of Manchester United’s matchday squads quite regularly ever since Solskjaer took charge of the first-team. In the sparse outings that have been handed to him, Garner has looked the part despite being at the nascent stage of his career. #MUFC
He had qualities similar to his idol Michael Carrick, Garner has the defensive nous to play the Anchor Man role in front of the defence while having the killer pass in him to link up with attack in the blink of an eye. #MUFC
He might still be in his teens and perhaps, not quite ready to fill Matic’s boots as soon as the start of next season or The other Season #MUFC #GGMU
