Real Sociedad admit Adnan Januzaj interest as they join Celtic in race for Manchester United misfit

  • Adnan Januzaj has struggled to break into the Manchester United fold
  • Belgian winger disappointed on loan at Sunderland team relegated last season
  • Real Sociedad state they will only act when they Man Utd make a decision
  • Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho has yet to publically declare winger's future 

Real Sociedad have joined a list of clubs ready to sign Adnan Januzaj from Manchester United this summer.

Januzaj has fallen way down the pecking order since breaking onto the scene at Old Trafford in 2013 and struggled last season to shine on loan at a Sunderland side relegated from the Premier League.

Celtic and Marseille are also considering a move for the Belgian international, but Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay has admitted he is yet to hold talks over a deal with the Red Devils.

'It’s true that we are interested [in Januzaj], but we are not in talks with Manchester or with him,' Aperribay said.


'We are waiting for the decision of Manchester United and then we will act. There are more teams interested in him and his signing won’t be easy.'

Januzaj enjoyed a sensational first season at Manchester United in the club's troubled 2013-14 campaign under David Moyes, but has failed to hit the same heights since.

The 22-year-old struggled on loan at Borussia Dortmund during the 2015-16 season, while Moyes couldn't bring out the best in the youngster for the Black Cats last term.

Jose Mourinho admitted back in April that his mind was already made up over Januzaj's Old Trafford future.

But he declined to say whether the Belgian was part of his long term plans.

Mourinho said; 'I have decided but I am not telling you.'
