Adnan Januzaj 'told to fight for place at Manchester United'

Manchester United midfielder Adnan Januzaj will not be sent out on loan in January, according to a report.

The youngster has been told to stay at Old Trafford and fight for his place in the first team, the Daily Star claims to have heard from an inside source at the club.

A host of Premier League clubs, including Everton and Aston Villa, have been linked with a move for the Belgium international, who has struggled to hold down a place in the team under manager Louis van Gaal.

The 19-year-old was also linked with a loan move to Spain with Real Sociedad, managed by former Red Devils boss David Moyes.

Januzaj made 35 appearances for United last season, but has been forced to watch much of the current campaign from the sidelines.
