Zoran Tosic's agent is optimistic the Serbian
winger will complete a move to Manchester United when the transfer
window reopens.
United confirmed on Friday they had successfully appealed for a
work permit for the 21-year-old, who currently plays for Partizan
Belgrade.
The Premier League champions provided no further details of the
deal except to say no move could be completed before January 1.
Tosic has been a long-term target for United and his
representative Zoran Pavlovic is now waiting to see how the matter
progresses.
"I have been working on his transfer for over two months now,"
Pavlovic told Belgrade TV station B-29.
"It's obvious why we hid everything from the public because
Manchester United was really interested, but the work permit was
quite a bit of trouble.
"Then, in agreement with Manchester, we decided to make an
appeal for the work permit and try to get it. Mr Ferguson got
involved personally and we managed to solve the problem.
"The next thing is the realisation of the transfer. I hope that
on January 1, Tosic will become a player of the current Champions
League holders."
Tosic is also awaiting further instructions, but has suggested
he is expecting to move to Old Trafford in the New Year.
"I was told that about 10 days ago Manchester had sent an appeal
for my work permit," said the Serbia international.
"I don't know what will follow, but I suppose that I have four
games left for Partizan."
