Manchester United are tracking and targeting CSKA Moscow defender Uros Cosic. It is reported that the Red Devils are lining up a January move for the Serbian defender.



Sir Alex Ferguson is desperate to strengthen his injury plagued back-line. With tough part of the season approaching and knockout rounds of Champions League to come, Fergie knows he can’t play Carrick and Fletcher every time in the defense. And to solve his defense crisis, Fergie has shortlisted the 17-year-old Uros Cosic.

I don’t know why Sir Alex has such affinity towards Serbian players. We already have 2 Serbian players in the team - Nemaja Vidic and Zoran Tosic. Recently, Manchester United were linked with Milos Krasic; who too is a Serb. I guess, Fergie has already spotted the next Rio Ferdinand in Uros Cosic.

CSKA are unwilling to let go of their highly-rated defender, who they feel is even better than fellow-countryman Nemanja Vidic. Though CSKA won’t play in Champions League next season, yet they want to hang onto their 17 year old defender. And guess what, they are luring him to stay in Russia by promising to grant Russian citizenship!

CSKA president Yevgeni Giner said, "I must stress that we would like to keep Cosic. We even offered him Russian citizenship. I have not seen such a great central defender before, not to mention that he is only 17. But Manchester United would also love to have him. They have already made several attempts to approach me about him, asking if I was ready to negotiate."

"They can see - the boy is going to grow into a bigger star than Vidic."

I have never heard about Uros Cosic and don’t know whether he is better than Vida, but what I know is – United seriously need a couple of good defenders. Our back four have got injured regularly and if Fergie does not play his cards soon, situation might worsen.

Milos Krasic has been recently linked with Manchester United. However, he is also a target of three leading Premier League clubs:  Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool, but who is Milos Krasic?

Milos Krasic is a Serbian professional footballer who currently plays for CSKA Moscow and is a member of the Serbia national team. Yeah, he can join his compatriot Nemanja Vidic at Old Trafford soon as a January move to England looks almost certain.



The £9million-rated Serbia playmaker caught the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson in two impressive Champions League performances against Manchester United. Milos has also hinted for a move away from Russia and the 25-year-old's agent says England is the most likely destination for him.

'I think that if Krasic leaves CSKA in January, he is 90 per cent likely to go to England. If he doesn’t leave in January, in the summer Italy could return as a possibility. And if Milan were to come forward, it would be an excellent solution for Milos, no doubt about it,’ said agent Dejan Joksimovic.

CSKA would be more than happy to cash on their expensive players as they prepare for a transition after finishing fifth in the Russian league and failing to qualify for next season's Champions League. Yevgeny Giner, who happens to be the President at CSKA says he will not stand in the way of Krasic moving on to bigger and better things.

The Russian club is ready to listen to acceptable offers for Krasic and goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, who has also been linked to Manchester United.
