The highly rated 18 year old had been lined up for a move to Old Trafford for next year, but the Serbian won’t get his chance as United feel that there is a surplus of talent they already hold in the midfield area.
A club spokesman told the club’s official website: "We had an option to buy the player but, having closely monitored his development over past 12 months, and taken into the consideration the young players emerging through the ranks, we have chosen not to pursue the transfer."
