Fans have been calling for Mourinho to drop Matic for weeks now and it appears his teammates think the same too.
The Serbian has been below par in the past few weeks but continues to be handed a place in the starting XI.
And Mourinho’s reluctance to drop his favourite is annoying certain parts of the dressing room, according to The Times.
Mourinho’s support of Matic has surprised some players and staff, who feel the midfielder is practically untouchable regardless of his form, the report adds.
