Januzaj concluded: “He is a really good guy, really professional and a good player; calm on the ball, he is strong and has played for the national team too”, and happily admitted “Now we are back together at Sunderland, which is good”.

Nicky Butt believes Adnan Januzaj can force his way into Manchester United’s team once he returns from his Sunderland loan and that he could even help the club lift the Champions League.
While Butt was happy to let a number of the academy’s graduates leave, the former United midfielder confessed that he would be “hurt” if Januzaj did not establish a career for himself at Old Trafford at some point in the future.
“I spoke with David Moyes and he asked me if I wanted to come here, I said that I wanted to play football”.
‘He’s got the level to play for United and win leagues and Champions Leagues.
Januzaj burst onto the scene at Old Trafford in 2013, with the Belgian having been handed his competitive debut for the club in the 2013 Community Shield. “Maybe he’s not been as dedicated, a case of too much too soon, a millionaire now”.
The Belgium worldwide made only 12 starts for United in the last two seasons under Louis van Gaal and spent four months on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
“Part of my mentality is to never give up”.
The Belgium global has seen his career stall in recent seasons after breaking through at Old Trafford under David Moyes in the 2013/14 Premier League campaign.
When asked if he had an global recall in mind, he said: “No, I’m not really discussing that”.
