Javier Hernandez will be wearing shirt number 14 which was vacated by Zoran Tosic. Tosic spent last seaon in the Man Utd Hospitality lounge rather than the pitch, and has moved on to pastures new.

Manchester United’s new signing Javier Hernandez, who will wear the number 14 shirt at Old Trafford in his debut Premier League season, was the quickest player at the World Cup finals according to FIFA’s stats.

Following the 22-year-old’s showings in South Africa, the burden of expectation is already on the prolific forward’s shoulders, and according to reports, Sir Alex Ferguson has signed the fastest player from the World Cup.

Hernandez’s top speed was clocked at 19.97 mph, which made him the speediest player on show, but still someway shy of the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, who averaged 23 mph, when he won Gold at the 2008 Olympics.

Manchester United fans will be hoping their newest recruit can alleviate the goal scoring burden currently carried by Wayne Rooney next season, and his nine goals in 16 games for Mexico should give them cause for optimism. Zoran Tosic now plays for CSKA Moscow.

Zoran Tosic believes that he was not given enough chances to prove his worth at Manchester United. The Serbian international winger, Tosic sealed his departure from Old Trafford earlier this week by joining CSKA Moscow after just 18 months at United.

Zoran Tosic made only five substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Red Devils and spent the second half of last season on loan at German side Cologne.

The 23-year-old feels he had no choice but to leave Old Trafford after growing increasingly frustrated with his lack of first-team opportunities.

"I'm already 23, but Manchester United didn't give me a chance to prove myself," said Tosic. "Obviously, I'm an athlete, I have ambition, but I want to show myself on the pitch, not on the bench. That's the main reason I left.

"They could have considered loaning me, but Manchester United wanted to sell and sell they did. CSKA Moscow, in my opinion, are quite a famous club, consistently playing in European competition and fighting for the Russian League title."

Zoran Tosic is ready to turn his back on Manchester United after an impressive loan spell at Cologne.

The 23-year-old Serbia winger has played just five games for United since signing from Partizan Belgrade last year but has shone in the Bundesliga since January with five goals in 12 starts for the German side.

His displays have sparked a bidding war in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen, Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund reported to be ready to make offers for the player.

But Tosic would rather stay at Cologne, insisting: 'I have told my agent that he should only tell me about something when it is finalized.

'I would like to stay at Cologne and clear this up before the World Cup. But we are still waiting on Manchester United and what they want to do with me.'

Zoran Tosic has expressed a wish to stay at Cologne at the end of his loan spell from Manchester United.

Serbian winger Tosic joined Cologne in January and he has impressed for the Bundesliga club in recent weeks, scoring both goals in last Friday's win over Bochum.

He is enjoying his chance to play regularly in Germany after struggling to make an impact for United since his 2009 arrival from Partizan Belgrade.

Reports claim the Red Devils would want £4.5million to agree to a permanent transfer and Tosic is waiting to see what the future holds.

"I would like to stay at the club," Tosic told kicker-Sportmagazin.

"The most important thing for any player is regular first-team football and I like Cologne, but I know any decision on my future will only be made in the summer."

Michael Owen is included in a host of players on the 'sale' list, as well as Ben Foster, a keeper who has seemingly slipped down the pecking order behind Edwin van der Sar and Tomasz Kuszczak.

As many as 10 to 15 players could be set for the exit door, with Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Gabriel Obertan all believed to be part of that group. Many punters are betting on Zoran Tosic following them out of the Old Trafford door.

A clutch of promising youngsters could also leave as the club's mounting debt begins to affect on-field matters at last. Tom Cleverley, Craig Cathcart (both on loan Watford), and Danny Welbeck (on loan Preston North End) could all move out of Old Trafford permanently.

Anderson was set to join that list but his recent injury has apparently put plans to cash in on the Brazilian on hold.

Nemanja Vidic and Zoran Tosic's Serbia are the latest 'United Nation' to qualify automatically for South Africa 2010 - at the expense of Patrice Evra's France.

As Group 7 leaders in Europe, the Serbs confirmed their likely passage to the World Cup finals in emphatic style on Saturday, hammering Romania 5-0. Vidic played for 73 minutes while Tosic was an unused substitute.

The French also won 5-0, against the Faroe Islands, to confirm their runners-up spot. Evra completed the 90 minutes and can now plan for the play-offs in November.

Sir Alex Ferguson admits leaving out Zoran Tosic and Ritchie De Laet from United’s 25-man Champions League squad wasn’t easy.

Both players impressed during pre-season but neither will be eligible to play in the group stage of the forthcoming European campaign, which begins on Tuesday with a tricky fixture in Turkey.

Some papers had suggested Tosic’s exclusion was tantamount to the end of his United career, but Sir Alex was quick to dispel any such rumours.

“It was just a numbers decision,” the manager said. “We have such a massive squad now.

“The difficulty was around what we should do with Owen Hargreaves, whether or not to put him or Zoran in the squad. The other player [who narrowly missed out] was Ritchie De Laet.

“We came down on the side of Hargreaves because, having taken the medical advice, we think he’ll be available for the last three Champions League group-stage games.”

That news, while disappointing for Tosic and De Laet, comes as a big boost for United fans, some of whom had begun to wonder if they’d ever see Hargreaves again in a red shirt.

Zoran Tosic has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo confided in his team-mates months ago that he wanted to quit Manchester United.

The Serbian winger, 22, says Ronaldo was on his way to Real Madrid long before his £80million transfer came to light a week ago.

Tosic, signed by manager Sir Alex Ferguson in January for £8m from Partizan Belgrade, is now keen to grab Ronaldo's first team slot next season.

But he admits it will be impossible to fill the Portuguese star's boots because he was "United's best player and will keep proving himself the best in the world".

Ronaldo told him well before the end of their title-winning campaign that he had won everything possible at Old Trafford, including a collection of individual accolades, and it was time to move on.

Tosic said: "Ronaldo told us he'd won all the awards and he wanted to try something else. I don't know if he had already signed for Real Madrid.

"He's going to be, yet again, the best player in the world.

"Last season he scored 42 goals, this time 27 and they all said it's his worst season, not enough! In Madrid he will be again the best.

"Cristiano was probably the best player in the team and so someone extra will come to take his place."
