The 'Hero' Indian Super League has confirmed the participation of former Manchester United player Bojan Djordjic for the inaugural ISL season. The winger-cum-attacking midfielder will feature among the 49 players in the 'central international player draft' to be held on August 21, 2014 in Mumbai. "Playing in the Indian Super League will be a great adventure, a chance to meet new people and help them to become stronger in a sport that has been my passion for my whole life," says the left-footed Swede, who once was named United's Young Player of the Year at the age of 18. Djordjic joined Manchester United in 1999 at the age of 17 from Brommapojkarna, a Swedish second division club near his Stockholm home. The Red Devils spotted Djordjic playing in the Under-17 European Championships for Sweden against England. Within a year Bojan earned the rare distinction of United's Young Player of the Year. By 2001, he was named in United's first team squad on a regular basis. Over the last 15 years, the now 32-year-old has gained vast international experience having played competitive football in England, Scotland, Serbia, Denmark, Sweden and Hungary. Known as a creative centre midfielder and touted as a set-piece specialist, Bojan has played key role for his respective teams in winning four league titles in four different countries - the domestic doubles with Glasgow Rangers (Scotland), Red Star Belgrade (Serbia) and AIK in Sweden and won the League Championship in Hungary for Videoton FC. He was also instrumental in making Plymouth Argyle FC a strong Championship side during his time in England. Source: Article
