NEMANJA MATIC has become the latest star to sign his son up to the Manchester United academy.
The Red Devils have a number of current and ex-legends kids at the club's development school, including Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs.
Michael Carrick also takes his children to the sessions, as did Zlatan Ibrahimovic before he quit last week to head to the MLS.
And now ex-Chelsea ace Matic takes his seven-year-old son Filip to midweek classes at their former Cliff training ground.
An Old Trafford source said: “Nemanja has now signed his son up to play for the club's academy under the watchful eye of the coaches.
“The club run a midweek soccer school at their ex-training ground where Zlatan used to and Carrick still sends his lad.
