Manchester United
have agreed a deal to loan their Serbia winger Zoran Tosic
to the Bundesliga
side Cologne until
the end of the season.
Tosic, 22, who signed for United in January 2009, has made five
appearances in all competitions at Old Trafford, and had also been
a target for Dutch side Twente and for Sporting Lisbon.
"I am glad my coming here," Tosic told the Serbian newspaper
Blic. "I believe I haven't had my final say at Manchester United
and that my performances with Cologne will be my ticket back to Old
Trafford."
Tosic's agent Zoran Pavlovic told the paper United had rejected
the prospect of a permanent move.
"There were some offers to buy out Tosic's contract," said
Pavlovic, "but Manchester United were unwilling to go for that
option. Boss Ferguson is obviously counting on him in the future
and so Tosic has been sent out on loan."
