Man United winger set to hold showdown talks with Jose Mourinho – report

Adnan Januzaj is preparing to tell Jose Mourinho that he wants to leave Manchester United if he is not part of his first-team plans next season, according to reports in the British media.

The Sun is reporting that the Belgian winger will seek showdown talks with the newly-appointed United boss this week as the Red Devils return for pre-season training.

Januzaj was loaned out to Borussia Dortmund for last season but was recalled back to Old Trafford in January after a difficult spell in Germany.

The same newspaper story goes on to say that Januzaj does not want to be sent out on loan for a second season and would prefer a permanent transfer away from Old Trafford if he is not part of Mourinho’s plans.

Mourinho is currently preparing to take charge of United’s pre-season preparations as the Portuguese coach gets ready for life at Old Trafford.
