Matic: Man United need more experience to catch up

Nemanja Matic believes that Manchester United need players with more experience in order to compete.

The Red Devils earned their best Premier League finish in five years by coming second this season, and have beaten each and every one of the Top 6 sides this year.

Trouble is, they ended up in second place, a whole 19 points behind Manchester City.

Jose Mourinho ended the season trophyless, losing the FA Cup final on Saturday to Chelsea after a strong performance. His men also lost the UEFA Super Cup final to Real Madrid earlier in the campaign.

"I think we need some players with some experience to bring some more qualities to our team," Matic said after the Wembley loss.

"After that, we can fight for the title and the Champions League also."

United have been linked to a number of players, including Antoine Griezmann.

Matic also expects the Red Devils to have to deal with more pressure next time round:

"When you don't win one year, the next year is always more pressure. When you play for the club, Manchester United, [it] is a normal thing and we have to accept that and deal with that."
