Adnan Januzaj will not allow Manchester United to send him out on loan again, reports the Sun.
The paper reports that the midfielder will tell Jose Mourinho that if he is not going to feature regularly in his first-team plans, then he will leave the club altogether.
Januzaj’s United demise is a hard one to understand. The Belgian’s career started so promisingly, but his style of play never fitted in with Louis van Gaal, which made the winger’s last two years a nightmare.
Last season, Van Gaal sent him on loan to Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, supposedly for the whole of the campaign, but Januzaj returned in January after failing to settle in Germany.
United have been considering loaning him out to another Premier League club, but it seems that would not sit well with the player.
Mourinho now faces a dilemma. As much as he would like to keep Januzaj because of his potential, it is going to be difficult to offer him first-team football next season, particularly considering his recent signings.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s deal should be completed this week, and the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic suggests Anthony Martial will continue to play on the wing, so it is hard to see where Januzaj will play.
And if he does move elsewhere in the Premier League, United could be left kicking themselves.
