Tosic - on loan at
Cologne
Zoran Tosic has admitted that he wants to see more first team
action at Manchester United next season, or he will look to leave
Old Trafford.
The Serbian winger is currently on loan at Bundeliga side
Cologne, where he has netted five times in 12 games since joining
in January.
Despite being hailed as a great prospect after signing for
United from Partizan for £8million in January 2009, Tosic made just
two appearances in the first team before his move to Germany.
The 23-year-old has however maintained his desire to stay at Old
Trafford, but only if more appearances in the starting eleven were
possible.
"If United want me back I will be very happy to return but I
don't want to go back there and be in the same situation as last
year, I want a more important role in the set-up," he told Serbian
TV channel b92's website.
"I feel great here but it remains to be seen what Manchester
United will say because it's up to them, I have a contract with the
club and it's their decision.
"If that's not what United want, then I will have a look at
alternative options.
"I've spoken to Cologne's officials and they told me they would
like to see me wear the team's shirt next season too."
With Tosic expected to be a part of Serbia coach Radomir Antic's
plans for the World Cup in South Africa in June, the former
Partizan midfielder, who has scored four goals in his last four
games for his country, is confident his side could perform well in
the tournament.
"We have a strong team and want to carry on where we left off in
the qualifiers, I am sure we can get through although we are
missing some injured players," Tosic added.
"We have able replacements and my main concern at the moment is
to stay fit so can be in coach Radomir Antic's frame as soon as the
build-up starts."
why buy him in the first place if he is not good enough or
there are too much wingers in the squad already? frankly I do
not expect biram diouf to fight with rooney, owen or berbatov for a
place? so is fergie going back to the days of buying the unknown
like howard, bellion, forlan etc etc?
