Adnan Januzaj has found his playing time extremely limited under Louis van Gaal this term, having made his first start in a few months away at Cambridge on Friday night. The Belgian will no doubt be frustrated, especially when you consider just how much action he got last season under David Moyes.
According to his agent, Louis van Gaal has blocked a potential transfer to Paris-Saint Germain from happening, as he regards Januzaj as an important first-team player. Januzaj’s representative also added that the winger will not be allowed to leave the club on loan this winter.
“Yes, PSG have shown themselves to be interested this winter,” De Vriese told French website Foot Mercato. “They directly contacted Manchester United for information.
“But Louis van Gaal announced that he [Januzaj] cannot leave this winter. Not as a permanent transfer nor as a loan.
“The coach considered him as an important player for squad. He is counting on everyone.
“It seems like a definitive decision, I don’t think that it can change.”
Its great to see that after a good performance by Januzaj on Sunday, Louis van Gaal is repaying that performance with faith by keeping him in the squad.
Many expected that the 19-year old would go out on loan, but this permanent move from PSG for Januzaj is a bit of a surprise. Hopefully his head won’t be turned by their interest and he’ll keep himself focused solely on football.
