Adnan Januzaj’s loan spell at Sunderland could be cut short as the winger is attracting interest in the transfer market.
That’s according to his representative Dirk Devriese, who has told HLN that Lyon are one of several French clubs who are keen to sign the Belgium international.
The midfielder was sent to the Black Cats in the summer and has impressed under David Moyes as he attempts to keep his side in the top flight.
Yet, Devriese admits that while several clubs have made enquiries, it will ultimately be up to Manchester United whether they allow him to leave on a permanent basis.
“Lyon are one of the many French clubs who have recently sounded out Adnan’s plans,” he said.
“Out of respect, we to listen to everyone. However, the ultimate decision is with Manchester United and we have not heard from them that the club wants to sell Adnan.”
With Memphis Depay likely to leave Old Trafford in January and Ashley Young out of favour, United may be reluctant to let yet another winger go.
However, it is up to Jose Mourinho to decide whether Januzaj really has a future at the Theatre of Dreams and whether he is the calibre of player he needs to mount a title defence in future seasons.
