The Daily Star report that Belgian superstar Adnan Januzaj could be leaving Manchester United to play for a Dutch Eriedivisie side on loan. It’s Louis van Gaal’s formee team, Ajax, and they would like to keep the Januzaj for 18 months, while United only want to loan him go until the end of the season. And this news comes on the heels of the story about Januzaj idolizing United Assistant Manager Ryan Giggs.
The club did a feature on Adnan, and how excited he was when he learned he could wear the same #11 shirt as Giggsy.
Adnan Januzaj: “Straight away I said “of course” and I didn’t have to think about it. It was a “yes” straight away.”
