Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj feeds lion on holiday after Sunderland's relegation

He hasn't had a lot to cheer about this season, but finally Adnan Januzaj was able to raise a smile away from football.

The 22-year-old visited a zoo on Friday afternoon and looked comfortable in his surroundings as he fed a lion.

Januzaj took to Instagram to upload the picture with a smiley-face emoji accompanying it as the caption.

Januzaj played for Sunderland on loan this term but was unable to help them avoid relegation

That emoji has been in stark contrast to his mood for the majority of the season at Sunderland.

The Belgium international, who joined the Black Cats on a season-long loan from Manchester United, was unable to help them avoid relegation from the Premier League as they finished bottom.

Januzaj's future at United is unclear at the moment but recently departed Sunderland boss David Moyes believes he still has a future there.

'He's a really good talent,' he said ahead of their 5-1 defeat by Chelsea this month.

However, the 22-year-old has since failed to kick on after that impressive 2013-14 campaign

'It wouldn't surprise me if Manchester United took him back and gave him a new contract.

'He's the best technical player. He'll have a big future.

'Some of his performances at times have been very good. The other night you could see his ability.'

Januzaj is under contract at United until the summer of 2018 but speaking last month, Red Devils' manager Jose Mourinho admitted he had already made a decision on his future but declined to comment what way.

'I have decided but I am not telling you,' Mourinho said in April.
