Adnan Januzaj to Everton: Latest Loan Transfer Rumours on Manchester United Star

Young Manchester United midfielder Adnan Januzaj will reportedly be subject of late interest from Everton in the January transfer window, with reports suggesting the Toffees are keen on taking the Belgium international on loan.

According to James Robson of the Manchester Evening News, the player has been cited as an ideal candidate by Roberto Martinez to inject some much needed initiative into Everton’s stuttering campaign.

The piece also claims that Januzaj will have to push for the move if it is to materialise.

After a breakthrough season in 2013/14, the 19-year-old has failed to make an impression under Louis van Gaal. The United boss handed him a start in the recent clash with Leicester City and said in the aftermath he needs to do more to get regular game time, per David McDonnell of the Daily Mirror:

"

He [Januzaj] has a lot of talent but you have to perform that talent in the matches and also in the training sessions.

I’m not making the line-up, the players themselves are making the line-up. I look at my players every day, I observe and I communicate with my players what I want.

According to Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News, Van Gaal does see Januzaj as a player who can give the side something different. As a result, he won’t be allowed to move on loan on deadline day:

Mike Keegan of the Daily Mail also claimed that this deal is unlikely to happen:

It seems Everton fans won’t be too fussed about missing out on the midfielder, anyway, as we can see here courtesy of David Downie of Radio City:

There’s definitely something about Januzaj, though. The winger has remarkable poise, takes wonderful care of the ball and has the fundamental technical skills to go on to reach the pinnacle of the game.

With that being said, it’s imperative he gets more minutes than he is currently, otherwise that potential could well be nullified.

Everton are a team that could do with an injection of class in those wide areas, and given their own predicament, Januzaj would surely see an increase in minutes.

For the time being, though, it looks as though Van Gaal is reluctant to let him leave, so the player must do all he can to force his way into first-team contention at Old Trafford.
