Manchester United veteran Nemanja Matic has heaped praise on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Matic has struggled to nail down a starting spot in the United team this season, but has made a comeback to start seven of United's last eight Premier League games.

"Every day he is improving, getting more experience," Matic told Sky Sports. "For sure he will be better and better.

"Like every manager, even Carlo Ancelotti, now and 20 years ago he is not the same.

"He knows more, he gets more experience, so it will be the same with Ole. He is a much better manager than one year ago, in my opinion.

"Now he knows all of the players, he knows exactly what he needs to do before the game, after the game. For his job, the experience is very important."
