From The Mail:

Djordjic, who has two years left on his contract with United, will travel to Belgrade this weekend and sign a contract on Monday.

'This will be a big challenge,' he told daily Aftonbladet. 'What's most important for me right now is to go away and play football.'

Djordjic joined United's youth team in 1999 but never made the transition to the first team as he competed for Ryan Giggs's left-side spot in midfield. He spent the past season on loan with Danish Superleague club AGF Aarhus.

The Yugoslavian-born 21-year-old, whose father Ranko Djordjic played for Red Star in the early eighties, has nine under-21 caps for Sweden but is yet to play for their first team.
