Nemanja Vidic is delighted with the arrival of Serbian youngsters Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljajic at Manchester United and is looking forward to helping them progress. Whilst Ljajic (pictured) will remain with Partizan Belgrade until 2010, as it is felt that the 17-year-old needs a little more experience before arriving in England, Tosic, slightly older at 21, has joined the squad immediately and will wear the number 14 shirt. "It’s great for Serbia and it’s great for me to have people from the same country around me," Vidic told ManUtd.com. "I hope they have a good time here and a big career at United. "I’m here to help him [Tosic]. I think he’s going to show his quality and personality at this football club." Vidic, who signed for the Red Devils in 2006 and took a little time himself to acclimatise, says that although the players will be elated at the moment, the hard work begins in earnest now and, as young players, they will require support. "It’s like they are in a dream at the moment," the defender added. "I can see they are very happy. It’s going to be a good time for them." "I think all players need time to get used to the English game. It’s different and I found it a bit difficult at the beginning. "[But] I don’t think I have to convince anyone to join Manchester United, the best team in the world last year. Everyone wants to be part of this squad."

Owing to reports published in Norway, recently promoted Tippeligaen side Molde FK are set to move in on Manchester United youngster, Lee Martin.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed that the Scandanavian squad had been asking about some of the young players at Old Trafford, but would not disclose the particulars of the discussions.

"Myself and Petter Rudi [Molde coach] have had early discussions, but I don't want to say anything about who we have been discussing," Solskjaer told Budstikke.

The 22-year-old promising winger has spent some time on loan at such clubs as Nottingham Forest, Stoke City, and Rangers.

Despite United's reserve coach shrouding the deal in secrecy, Norwegian press attest that Martin is the man Molde are looking to snap up.
