Gary Neville glad to see Adnan Januzaj stay at Manchester United

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has backed the club's decision to retain Adnan Januzaj at the club.

The Belgian winger enjoyed a breakthrough campaign under David Moyes last term, but has struggled to make the starting lineup as frequently under Louis van Gaal this term.

Januzaj has been a reported target for Everton this transfer window, while Paris Saint-Germain were also understood to be showing an interest, but Neville is glad that the 19-year-old is likely to stay at Old Trafford.

"He's played the last two games and I think now is the time to prove himself," Neville told Sky Sports News.

"I thought this season would be a really good one for him and I thought Louis van Gaal would [like him] as a player. He's a winger, technically gifted and showed glimpses last season of really fantastic performances.

"I certainly wouldn't have thought they would allow him to go this window. It's a good move [by United]."

Januzaj played 90 minutes in the 3-1 win against Leicester City on Saturday.
