What Is The Future Of This Belgian International Under Jose Mourinho At Manchester United

Adnan Januzaj

Very often in football it so happens that you find a really promising youngster who grabs everyone’s attention, the fans and media hype him to a phenomenal extent and ultimately, they fail to deliver and fizzle away. Adnan Januzaj is on his way to follow the exact same route, as the United winger, who got his break through under David Moyes in the 2013-14 season, has barely featured for the club since then. Louis van Gaal didn’t use him as much as he should have, but that was as much the fault of the player as it was of the manager. Borrusia Dortmund took him on a season long loan, but it fell through in December last year and Januzaj returned to Manchester after making only one appearance for Tomas Tuchel’s side.

What’s the problem?

The problem lies with his attitude. Adnan is a precocious talent, but he doesnt put a shift in. In football, you must have the stomach to fight for what you want, but he simply lacks that urge. It was shown when van Gaal relegated him to the bench permanently after he refused to drop deep and defend in an U21 game against Middlesbrough in February this year, it was again on shown when he opted to exploit a loophole in FIFA’s rulebook and feature for Kosova’s national team, despite making six appearances for Belgium.

Marc Wilmots, the Begian coach stated that Adnan’s form was poor and it was known that he would never make it to the Euros squad, so he is now looking to shift to the Kosovan team which has only recently been recognised by UEFA.

Future:

Well, there can be no guarantees for a player like him, no matter how gifted he may be. Everyone knows that, however how he wishes to implement it is the key. Seeing how he has already enfuriated three managers, it is extremely unlikely that he will have a future at Old Trafford under a manager as intense as Jose Mourinho. With Memphis Delay, Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Ashley Young all vying for a spot, it is likely that the academy graduate will be let go. However, I hope I am wrong and that the mercurial talent in Adnan finally shows through in the next campaign.
