United’s Adnan Januzaj heads for Borussia Dortmund on loan
20-year-old Belgium international was not able to earn a regular starting spot under Louis van Gaal
Borussia Dortmund have signed Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj on loan for a season, the German club said on Monday.
The 20-year-old Belgium international was reportedly a target for several European clubs including Tottenham Hotspur, Olympique Marseille and Valencia.
Borussia Dortmund are a big club and the fans are supposed to be great. I want to do big things with the club
“Adnan is a high quality and versatile player who complements our attack,” Dortmund sports director Michael Zorc said.
Januzaj made four appearances for United this season, scoring in the 1-0 win over Aston Villa last month.
“Borussia Dortmund are a big club and the fans are supposed to be great here,” Januzaj said. “I want to do big things with the club here.”
Januzaj will not have the chance to play in the Champions League because Dortmund have qualified for the Europa League after a disappointing last season.
