Tosic made a total of five appearances for United, all as substitute

Manchester United have allowed Serbian winger Zoran Tosic to join German side FC Cologne on loan until the summer.

The 22-year-old arrived at Old Trafford 12 months ago from Partizan Belgrade as part of a reported £16.3m double deal that also saw Adem Ljajic join United.

But Tosic has failed to win a first-team place since, making only two appearances this season, in the Carling Cup against Barnsley and Tottenham.

However, he said: "I don't believe I have had my final say at United."

He added: "Hopefully my displays with Cologne will be my ticket back to Old Trafford."

Ljajic left the club only last month after manager Sir Alex Ferguson decided not to take up the option to sign him.

He has since gone on to join Italian club Fiorentina.

Tosic and Ljajic are still regarded as two of Serbia's brightest young talents, despite their failure to settle in at the Premier League champions.
