United in £8m swoop for Serbian midfielder Tosic

Manchester United have agreed an £8million deal to sign Serbian midfielder Zoran Tosic. The 21-year-old left winger became a target for leading European clubs when he played a key role in Serbia’s run to the semi-finals of last year’s European Under 21 Championships.

Now United are ready to sign Tosic from Partizan Belgrade in January, subject to a successful work permit application next week.

The Home Office, who have appointed former England winger Chris Waddle to the panel looking at the application, demands that non-EU nationals must have played in three-quarters of their country’s matches in the last year and Tosic has appeared in only six of Serbia’s previous 14 games.

United will argue he is set to become a Serbia regular. Dead-ball specialist Tosic will then aim to prove he can be the successor to Ryan Giggs on the left.

[Michael Shoemaker]

so is chelsea going to creep in and steal the player?

[the_ron]

nani needs to improve significantly if he's to get anywhere close to holding down a regular spot, really overpriced buy based on hype :(

he's hit some stunners though, hope he'll come good... before it's too late

[YouYongku]

Maybe Nani is just like Ronaldo. Needs some polishing 1st. :D Remember, Ronaldo's 1st 2 seasons with Man Utd isn't too great as well. He only come good 3 season onwards.

[xllms]

taking over ryan giggs position is huge task, especially, when he is such a wonderful player even before he turned 20...hence there is no excuse to say tat one is still young and has plenty of time to learn...to replace ryan giggs, the player himself has to establish himself regardless of his age, otherwise, he will be another by-passer, hoping to fill this gap

[demongod]

nani actually crosses very well and shoots well also, but his overall play is a bit lost, always anyhow dribble and positioning wise still not there yet

[GrimaH]

He doesn't "anyhow dribble". It's more like "anyhow run with ball into a dead end".
He's still young and has lots of room for improvement.

It's funny, from what I got from someone who has seen Tosic play his abilities almost mirror Nani's.

[ASM_HWZ]

How to replace Giggs... player like him come once a decade.

[Keverus]

i rly hope nani comes thru....then we can sell ronaldo. after all, nani oso from sporting de, gone thru same trng.
