Tosic Happy to Wait

Manchester United midfielder Zoran Tosic, a recruit from Partizan Belgrade who arrived during the January transfer window, is showing patience as he waits to make his first-team debut for the Red Devils.

The 22-year-old, who has featured for the full Serbian national team, has not appeared since coming from the bench for United against Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup. He has impressed observers with his displays for Ole Gunner Solskjaer's reserve team, but acknowledges that his acclimatisation is perhaps not yet quite complete enough for him to take the field in the Premier League.

"It was the best moment of my life when I came on," he told uefa.com, speaking of his appearance against Spurs.

"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."
