Man Utd agrees £15M fee for Partizan Belgrade pair Tosic, Ljajic

Manchester United have agreed terms for Partizan Belgrade pair Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljajic. The Daily Star Sunday says United have agreed to pay £15million for Serbian wonderboys Tosic and Ljajic.

And the European Cup holders hope to complete the double deal in next month's transfer window.

The Partizan Belgrade pair are manager Sir Alex Ferguson's only planned signings in January.

The club has already secured a work permit for Tosic, 21, a pacy left winger who would cost £8m.

Ljajic, who is only 17, is an attacking midfielder who is also being tracked by Spanish giants Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan - who face United in the Champions League in February.

The Old Trafford club decided to buy him after he impressed during a recent successful trial at the club's training complex at Carrington.

Already a Serbia Under-21 international, £7m Ljajic could be loaned back to Partizan by United for the rest of the season - or even for the following campaign, too, as he has been earmarked by Fergie as one for the future.
