Manchester United announced on Monday that they have signed midfielder Nemanja Matic from Chelsea and he can be the difference in them challenging for the Premier League title.
Jose Mourinho has already added centre-back Victor Lindelof and striker Romelu Lukaku to his squad ahead of the new season.
However, the completed deal for Matic is the icing on the cake and the Red Devils have been crying out for a signing like him in recent seasons.
The 29-year-old has completed a £40million move to United and has the qualities to play a major role in the upcoming season.
Mourinho has previously worked together with Matic at Stamford Bridge and they have now formed a Chelsea reunion at Old Trafford.
He is recognised for being a combative central midfielder and has proven himself to be highly effective at breaking up play in the Premier League.

Here are those three points, including why his arrival can have a major impact on 24-year-old.
