Tosic makes Cologne loan move

Tosic has failed to make any impression at Old Trafford since arriving 12 months go from Partizan Belgrade as part of a double-deal that included Adem Ljajic. The Ljajic option was discarded last month and the player has since gone on to sign for Fiorentina. And despite his £7million price-tag Tosic has never given any impression his slight frame could adjust to the demands of English football. He made just two appearances this term - both in the Carling Cup against Barnsley and Tottenham - although he clearly has ability judging by his frequent appearances for Serbia, that are likely to earn him a place at the World Cup. It does seem unlikely the 22-year-old will eventually challenge for a senior spot at Old Trafford, although Tosic refuses to give up hope that he can one day force his way into Sir Alex Ferguson's plans. "I don't believe I have had my final say at Manchester United," he said. "Hopefully my performances with Cologne will be my ticket back to Old Trafford."
