Here are your Manchester United morning headlines for Friday, May 20.

Nemanja Matic sends farewell message to Manchester United fans

Nemanja Matic has urged Manchester United supporters to keep their faith in the club and insisted that good times will come back before long.

Matic, 33, is set to leave United for free at the end of the season and could make his final appearance for the club this weekend when they face Crystal Palace on the final day of the campaign. The Serbian midfielder has exercised his right to end his United career this summer rather than trigger an optional one-year extension, bringing to an end his five-year association with the club.

Matic got a standing ovation when he was substituted during United's final home game of the season against Brentford earlier in the month and will be hoping for one last appearance on Sunday afternoon. Ahead of the match, Matic was asked if he had a parting message for supporters ahead of his summer exit.
