If you recall that Matic moved to Old Trafford from Chelsea in the summer of 2017.
He has since played in 112 games for the club in all competitions, scoring four goals.
Solskjaer favoured Scott McTominay and Fred above Matic at the start of the current campaign. However, the 31-year-old forced his way back into the team.
This came after McTominay was struck down with injury, but he seem to have recovered.
Matic told Sky Sports of how he has turned his United career around: "I always try to be professional and give my best when I am on the pitch, it doesn't matter if it is training or a game.
"I've played football for a long time already and this situation is normal, sometimes you don't play and the coach doesn't see you as a first option. You can accept it or not but you have to be professional.
"You have to work hard, wait for your chance and use it. This is exactly what I did.
"Now the situation is different, the coach trusts me more. I'm a soldier and I wait for the instructions from my coaching team.
"To be honest, when you don't play of course you think about everything but in my head, I always try to be positive. I always believe in my quality and I know if work hard my time is going to come again."
