Matic was the only United player not wearing a poppy during their 2-1 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday. The Serb, 30, released a statement on Instagram in which he said he respected the right of people to wear poppies. "Whilst I have done so previously, on reflection I now don't feel it is right for me to wear the poppy on my shirt. The Royal British Legion said "the decision to wear the poppy must be a matter of personal choice". The 29-year-old was abused by a section of the home crowd for not wearing a poppy during Saturday's 0-0 draw with visitors Middlesbrough.
