Partizan Belgrade have denied that talented teenager Adem Ljajic has linked up with Manchester United against their will. Which is a bit of a shot in the eye for the accusers, our beloved Real Madrid. They were casting aspertions about United's approach for Adem, which has now been confirmed as bull excrement by Partizan themselves !!United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has managed to secure the midfielder on trial after being tipped off on his potential by scout Budimir Vujacic.
With the 17-year-old elaborately dubbed 'The Little Kaka' in some quarters, it was surprising that United had managed to steal a march on his many admirers by acting so swiftly. However, Partizan have insisted they did not expect him to return to Belgrade after an Under-19 international match in Northern Ireland and gave full permission to United to run the rule over the player.
Darko Gubor, the club secretary for Partizan told nogomet.com "It is not true that Ljajic went to England without permission, we have been in contact with Manchester United for some time now and Ljajic was with the international team in Britain at this moment so it was handy for him to go on trial now. We want to co-operate with Manchester United and this is only the first step. I repeat Ljajic went to Manchester with Partizan's permission and all I can say regarding his potential move to United is that he is still a very young player who is at the beginning of his career."
Ljajic, who has impressed in a right-wing role, will spend a few days with the United youth set-up after helping Serbia hammer England 4-1 in the Under-19 European Championship qualifiers in Newry on Monday night and also defeating Northern Ireland 3-1 in the competition.....Back To Home Page
