Zoran Tosic claims he will soon be ready for Manchester
United action after sealing his move from Partizan
Belgrade.
Teenage team-mate Adem Ljajic will not arrive until he turns 18
but winger Tosic is poised to play a part in United's assault on
four fronts this season.
Sir Alex Ferguson wants the wide man to essentially replace Old
Trafford legend Ryan Giggs as a left-sided player because he now
sees the Welshman as a central midfielder.
It is a tall order for Tosic, who initially turned down personal
terms with The Red Devils, but he is buoyed by the presence of
fellow Serb Nemanja Vidic in the squad.
"I dreamed of playing for a club like Manchester
United," he told uefa.com.
"Now the dream has come true and I’m very happy for it. I wish
to become a world-class footballer wearing the United shirt and not
miss my chance to be remembered for my contribution to the biggest
football family.
"It's a great feeling to be here, but now I’m only thinking how
to adjust to The Premier League as soon as possible.
"Nemanja Vidic’s presence will be of immense help as we now each
other well from the national team.
"I am absolutely confident and ready to learn fast and I hope
the manager will be able to count on me soon."
Meanwhile, former youth team skipper Sam Hewson has been allowed
to join Hereford United.
The loan deal will run until early April for the combative young
midfielder.
