Former Chelsea player and assistant manager Ray Wilkins has described Chelsea’s decision to sell Nemanja Matic to Manchester United as the worst he has ever seen Chelsea make.

Despite been a key player for Chelsea as we won the league last season, Matic was allowed to reunite with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford in a surprise summer transfer worth £40million.

“It’s the worst I’ve ever seen, if I can say,” Wilkins said on Sky Sports.

“I cannot see that for the life of me.

“You’ve got a guy here who was so paramount to Chelsea along with [N’Golo] Kante in the middle of the pitch, winning the championship with Chelsea the year before and all of a sudden you’ve sold him to one of or the biggest rival we have.

“I say we because I am a Chelsea supporter so I’m speaking from the heart when I speak.”
