Many Chelsea fans and pundits have questioned Chelsea’s decision in selling Nemanja Matic to a direct rival, Manchester United but former England defender, Joleon Lescott, believes it’s nice to see Chelsea not stopping a player from joining a team he wants to join even though it was a direct rival.

“I was pleased that Chelsea let him go to Man United,” Lescott said on Sky Sports.

“I was surprised they let him go at all but I was glad to see a team didn’t restrict him from going to a team he wanted to go to, even if it is a rival.”
