Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has criticised the Australian authorities for their treatment of Novak Djokovic.
Djokovic was deported from Australia late on Sunday night after 11 days of legal wrangling ended with the full bench of the Federal Court siding with Minister Hawke's decision to cancel his visa.
Matic described the authorities' treatment of Djokovic as 'shameful' and sent his support to the 20-time Grand Slam winner.

This is not the first time Matic has publicly supported Djokovic. He previously defended the tennis star after he was criticised for hosting the controversial Adria Tour in 2020.
This time, Matic took to social media to say: 'Their glory and your shame will last forever'. His comment was accompanied by a photo of Djokovic winning the Australian Open.

Matic's comment came shortly after Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic referred to the legal battle Djokovic endured as torture.
