Boss: Attacker was right to leave Man Utd and will be great after following Chelsea flop

Adnan Januzaj was right to move on loan, according to Belgium boss Marc Wilmots

BELGIUM national team manager Marc Wilmots believes Adnan Januzaj was right to leave Manchester United on loan this summer

 

Januzaj joined Borussia Dortmund for the rest of the season last month and has made an immediate impact in Germany.

Wilmots believes the Bundesliga is the perfect place for the 20-year-old to gain some first-team experience and thinks he is destined to have a great future.

 

He also claimed Januzaj can follow the example of Kevin De Bruyne, who left Chelsea for Wolfsburg and became one of Europe's most sought-after midfielders.

De Bruyne has since completed a £54million move to United's cross-town rivals Manchester City and is regarded as one of the world's most exciting prospects.

 

"The step back from Chelsea to Wolfsburg worked wonders for Kevin De Bruyne," Wilmots said.

"I am convinced that Adnan's decision to join Dortmund on loan for one season is the right one. It will help him make the next step.

"Januzaj can enjoy a similar development to De Bruyne."
