  Zoran Tosic has been given the go-ahead to join Manchester United after the champions were granted a work permit for the young Serbian star.

  United have been searching for a new winger for some time, possibly to replace veteran Ryan Giggs, and it was reported earlier this week that an £8million fee had been agreed for Tosic.

  United have not confirmed the fee they have agreed with Partizan Belgrade to sign the player but Sir Alex Ferguson attended a permit hearing for the 21-year-old on Friday and emerged with positive news, meaning Tosic will move to Old Trafford in January.

  Tosic has scored nine goals in 20 games so far this season and has established himself as an important member of the Serbia senior side after initially impressing for the Under-21s.

  His stats are not bad in FM09, 15-17/20 (attacking attributes). Hope it's true.

  I think he must be good enough otherwise Fergie won't take so much trouble in getting him... Attending the work permit application with the Home Office himself...

  I guess United don't have a natural left footer thats why Fergie wants him... I see an end to Park's United's career very soon... The guy is good at running only but hardly score goals...
