Nemanja Matic “disagreed” with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for leaving him out of Manchester United’s starting XI in each of the first four matches of the season.

Matic is yet to start a game this season, playing the role of unused substitute in each of their first three Premier League games.

The United midfielder made his first appearance in the 1-1 draw with Southampton as a second-half substitute that probably should have subsequently been substituted.

On Sunday, Matic liked an Instagram comment branding Solskjaer ‘myopic’ for dropping him, which has led to rumours that the pair have fallen out.

However, Matic says he has no problem with the manager but he does think he should be playing.

“In the first two or three games he (Solskjaer) determined the team without me,” Matic said while on international duty with Serbia.

“I work as hard as I can, we respect the decision, it is mine to show him that he was wrong and to bring me back to where I belong.

“There is no problem. I told him I disagreed with him, but that he had to decide the team.”
