Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic had a street named after him in Ub, a municipality in central Serbia where he was born, a local official said yesterday. "The decision has been taken. We are awaiting Nemanja Matic gives his approval to implement it," a municipal official said.


Matic, born in the village of Vrelo, just next to Ub, some 60 kilometres west of Belgrade, has never forgotten his roots. The 29-year-old has given back to local football club Jedinstvo Ub, where he played in his youth, and financed the construction of an artificial grass pitch.
