Man Utd end pursuit of Partizan’s Ljajic
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has pulled the pin on a deal for Partizan Belgrade youngster Adem Ljajic.
The Red Devils originally had a combined deal for Ljajic and his Belgrade teammate Zoran Tosic, worth £17million, but after Tosic failed to make an impact at Old Trafford, Ferguson decided to end the deal.
Ljajic will now not come to Manchester whilst Tosic will leave next month and the funds Ferguson was set to use on the deal can now be invested in a striker, presumably Wolfsburg’s Edin Dzeko who has attracted plenty of interest from the Red Devils boss.

stupid tribal football writeing shyte again, ljajic is already a united player and is on loan, tosic will stay ot ot, as for fergie ruining young careers who's ronldo, beckham, scholes, giggs the nevile brothers etc.....not every player can make it, so he sends them to other clubs, hows that ruining carrers?
Silly article. The deal has already been done. Ljajic is already a Manchester United player - he was bought and then loaned back to Partizan. And Tosic is already a signed Manchester United Player. SO THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT "THE DEAL IS FALLING THROUGH". Check out the news article quoted on www.manutd.com dated 04/03/2009 saying "Red Star in the making"...Pls tribalfootball.com, put up good stories...
Gutted this deal has fallen through
