Sunderland sign Adnan Januzaj on loan from Manchester United

“The versatile 21-year-olds have both put pen-to-paper on four-year deals and become David Moyes’ second and third signings as Sunderland manager”.

The Belgium worldwide was handed his break with United when Moyes was in charge at Old Trafford, but struggled for game-time under Louis van Gaal.

In fact, the new Sunderland manager spoke pretty openly about being interested in bringing the Manchester United pair to the Stadium of Light. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.theeagleonline.com.ng as the source.

Januzaj’s attitude has been openly questioned by senior figures at United, including Louis van Gaal, but they have been reluctant to allow him to leave permanently.

“He fits in my plans, that’s why he is on loan in the Premier League”, said Mourinho.

However, he made only three Premier League starts last season compared to 12 during the 2014-15 campaign.

“He is talented. But in the same squad as (Anthony) Martial, Memphis (Depay), (Ashley) Young etc, it could mean not many matches”. He has got goals in him, he is two footed, so he has an very bad lot going for him. Yes, he’s coming in to a manager who trusts him and believes in him, but he’s got to be the one who shows why for the last two years he’s not really featured.

After being left out of Jose Mourinho’s squad for the upcoming season, Adnan Januzaj wants to leave Old Trafford and looks set to spurn AC Milan in favour of Sunderland.

Januzaj had a good season during Moyes’ first and only year in charge at Old Trafford.

“However until that time, I give my word that I will give my utmost in training and on the field”.
