Jose Mourinho is the best coach he's worked with - Nemanja Matic

Nemanja Matic says Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is the best coach he has ever worked with.

The Serbian revealed that Mourinho's presence at United was the deciding factor for his move there this summer.

"Mourinho is a brand, and the best coach I've ever worked with," the defensive midfielder said. "Sometimes it isn't easy to work with him, because he always demands more. "Even when you play the best match in your career, he considers that you can play better in the next match." Matic is thriving under Mourinho after his £35 million move as his fine start to the season continued with a dominant midfield display as United beat Benfica 1-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The pair won the Premier League together two years ago at Chelsea and Matic is still full of praise for the manager. "Privately he's completely different from the way he is perceived by the general public," he said. "This is a man who possesses all human virtues. He's not at all cold or conceited, as he is presented in the media.

"He has created an excellent group of players with huge potential, and everything is there for us to achieve good results."
