A major report from English tabloid Daily Mirror has claimed that Real Madrid are involved in a swoop deal to bring Manchester United youngster Adnan Januzaj. Though the report seems farfetched, one never knows what can happen in the transfer window.
however the Belgian wants to make a name for himself at Old Trafford and that according to a story in Daily Mail. Januzaj is determined to establish himself at the heart of Louis van Gaal’s new regime. Januzaj emerged as a fine young prospect during David Moyes’ disastrous time in charge and was rewarded with a five-year contract worth £50,000-a-week a year ago.
But the 19-year-old is yet to start a game under Van Gaal. So far, he has maade all six of his first-team appearances this season off the bench while playing for the club’s Under 21 team.
Despite interests from elsewhere, Januzaj will stay and fight for a place at Old Trafford. the left footed starlet is ready to compete with Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata for the No 10 role. “We want to stay.” said the player’s agent Dirk de Vries. “Adnan wants to gain experience in England as No 10 — he doesn’t fear the competition.”
Just like anyone else he wants to play but he will wait for his opportunity. He is a super professional and he is still motivated, even when he has to play for the Under 21s. We’re not angry. We know the club is very happy with him and they want to keep Adnan for the rest of his career at Old Trafford.”
“They believe in him, otherwise he wouldn’t be handed the No 11 of Ryan Giggs. We have to wait until Van Gaal gives him a chance. But we cannot look into the Dutchman’s head and know what he thinks. I believe Adnan plays well at this moment and I’ve heard that he could start the game on Monday
Does this mean that Van Gaal wants to play Januzaj to sway away Real from the youngster?
