With United’s policy of producing a healthy number of youngsters, Phelan admitted that it was slightly disappointing to not have the chance to bring Ljajic to the club, but with the rules that are in place, it was just unfortunate that the deal could not go through.
“As you can see we’ve got young players and we’re a team that requires young players to come through and develop and bring into the first team. We’ve looked at Adem and he has the potential to do that but you can’t fight these things sometimes.
“Some people you can get work permits for, some you can’t. Adem fell into the category of being hard to get a work permit for, so we made the decision (not to pursue it).”

Reds won't pursue LjajicIt has been confirmed that United have decided not to take up the option to sign Partizan youngster Adem Ljajic.
The 18-year-old Serbian attacking midfielder had been lined up for a potential move to Old Trafford next year.
However, with a wealth of top young talent in that position already at the club, United have announced that the initial interest in Ljajic will not be followed up.
A club spokesman told ManUtd.com: "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."
