Zoran Tosic is happy to bide his time before making his
mark at Manchester United.
The January arrival from Partizan Belgrade made a brief
appearance against Tottenham in the FA Cup but has been overlooked
since, despite impressing in the reserves.
Lee Martin, who has been farmed out on loan on a number of
occasions, was preferred to the Serbian on the bench on one
occasion but Tosic is relaxed as he appreciates he will probably
not be ready to shine until next season.
"It was the best moment of my life when I came on," he told
uefa.com when asked about his debut.
"75,000 people. I think I did well in that game.
"Now I hope we will win the championship and try to win the
Champions League then, after that, when next season starts, I'm
going to get the chance to play.
"I'm happy here in Manchester. I haven't played a lot of games
for the first team, but I have come to the best club in the
world.
"I know I have time. I have to practise, get stronger, get
faster, be better in all aspects. I feel the [upcoming European]
Under-21 championship will help me and I can prove I'm a United
player."
Nemanja Vidic is helping Tosic to settle as the fellow Serbian
also needed some time to find his feet, even though he did enjoy
more first-team action.
"He has helped me a lot, not only on the pitch but off it too,"
Tosic continued.
"English football is a bit different to the other leagues so he
told me some things about how I should play and different things
that I would have to get used to.
"A player that learns to play in The Premier League can play
wherever he wants."
