The image emerged on Twitter on Sunday afternoon, and the Serbian caption underneath translates into "First hand information."
Matic can be seen wearing the number 31 shirt in the photo, which was Bastian Schweinsteiger's old number before he joined MLS side Chicago Fire. It won't come as a surprise to see Matic in a United top, as he is reportedly on the verge of joining the club.
According to Sky Sports, the Serbian will sign for Jose Mourinho's side this week, costing £40m from Chelsea. The 28-year-old was a regular for the Premier League champions last season, but would have found his playing time limited had he stayed after the signing of Tiemoue Bakayoko from Monaco.

Apparently, Chelsea are allowing him to join Mourinho's side as a "goodwill gesture" because of his loyal service in the past. He didn't travel with Chelsea to China for their pre-season tour. So, it very well could be Matic in the photo, but some weren't convinced.
A few thought it was a photo of Schweinsteiger doctored with Matic's head.
