Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is hoping Serbia make an early exit from the World Cup so Nemanja Matic can have a holiday.
Mourinho has predicted Brazil and Switzerland will qualify from Group E so Matic, who will be part of Serbia’s squad in Russia, can have an extended break before the new season.
“It’s very difficult, I don’t want to be emotional but I have to be,” the Portuguese coach told RT. “I want my players to win but I also want my players to go on holiday.
“I need Matic to go on holiday so Switzerland to finish second. I’m sorry Nemanja but you need a holiday.”
