It looks like Adnan Janzuaj has not reacted well to José Mourinho’s decision to deem him surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.
According to a report by the Mirror, the Belgian has refused to change in the Under-23 dressing room after being demoted back to the reserves by the incoming United manager.
The 21-year-old is reportedly furious at being told to change and play with United’s reserves and thinks that he should be shown more respect by Mourinho, having made 63 first-team appearances under former managers David Moyes and Louis van Gaal.
United value Januzaj at around £20 million and are ready to sell up if the price is right, although they will entertain loan offers for the winger if no permanent offers come in. Sunderland have already expressed an interest in signing Januzaj, although it remains to be seen whether they will meet the Reds’ asking price.
Januzaj has failed to kick on after a whirlwind start to life under the management of David Moyes in the 2013-14 season. His United career stalled under Van Gaal, who sent him out on loan to Borussia Dortmund last season.
That did not work out well for the 21-year-old, who failed to start a single Bundesliga game for Thomas Tuchel’s side and the loan was brought to a premature end in January.
Even after returning, Januzaj was used sparingly in the first-team by Van Gaal, only making three appearances off the bench for the Reds and spent more time playing for the Under-21 side, who retained their Premier League title.
