Biography: He was United's first foreign signing when Dave Sexton gambled £300,000 to sign him from Red Star Belgrade. He got a run in the team after injuries to Kevin Moran and Martin Buchan in 1980-1981 but struggled to adjust to the pace of English football, and his contract was cancelled in November 1982. Didn't settle at Old Trafford and became general manager of FC Lovcen in 2007.
