Southampton and Dortmund in surprise Man Utd raid as Adnan Januzaj to leave on loan

Adnan Januzaj could leave Manchester United on loan in the transfer window

SOUTHAMPTON and Borussia Dortmund will battle it out to sign Manchester United forward Adnan Januzaj on loan, according to reports in Germany.

 

Despite the 20-year-old's match-winning performance against Aston Villa in United's last Premier League game, Sport Bild suggest he could be allowed to leave Old Trafford on a temporary basis.

And the German giants are thought to be hot on his heels, while Ronald Koeman's Saints have emerged as shock rivals for his signature.

 

Sunderland were also thought to retain an interest along with Everton, although talk of a move to Wearside or Merseyside appears to have cooled.

While the youngster played a starring role last Friday night, he is believed to want regular first-team football, something Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal can't guarantee.

Juventus are also reported to be monitoring his situation.

 

It us understood the Belgium is far from short of admirers despite struggling for game time last season.

Januzaj burst onto the scene at Old Trafford under David Moyes, making 27 Premier League appearances in the 2013-14 season.

However, he featured just 18 times under Van Gaal in the last campaign and could be deemed surplus to requirements.
