Manchester United has pulled out of an agreement to sign 18-year-old Serbian midfielder Adem Ljajic from Partizan Belgrade.
The English champion agreed to buy Ljajic in January along with teammate Zoran Tosic and loaned him back to Partizan so he could gain more experience.
But United is now pulling out of the deal.
United says it made the decision “having closely monitored his development over past 12 months and taken into the consideration the young players emerging through the ranks.”
Tosic has made five substitute appearances for United so far.
