Sir Alex swooped for winger Tosic (along with fellow Serb Adem Ljajic, who was instantly loaned back to Partizan Belgrade), in January for a combined fee reported to be around £17.3million.
A fully-fledged member of the Serbian national team, Tosic made his Reds debut in the FA Cup fourth round against Tottenham, replacing Cristiano Ronaldo.
After another brief substitute appearance in the league, at West Brom, Tosic spent the rest of his season honing his game in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Reserves – where his quick feet, pace and pinpoint delivery led Sir Alex to suggest that he’ll play a bigger part for the seniors next season.
The man nicknamed ‘Bambi’, due his slight physique and thin legs, is the type of left-footed winger United have been yearning for since Ryan Giggs' move into central midfield.
Fellow Serb Nemanja Vidic has been a huge hit since joining United and Tosic will be keen to prove that he is equally adept at handling the high demands of being a United player.
08/09 appearances: Utd 2-1 Spurs (24 Jan), WBA 0-5 Utd (27 Jan), Hull 0-1 Utd (24 May).
