Januzaj heads for the United exit

-

ADNAN Januzaj is heading towards the Old Trafford exit as Manchester United consider a number of offers for the winger.

Having flourished after being given a firstterm role by then United manager David Moyes, the 22-year-old’s star has faded over the years.

Januzaj returned early from an ill-fated loan spell at Borussia Dortmund during the 2015/16 campaign and endured a turbulent seasonlong stint at Sunderland last term.

Press Associatio­n Sport understand­s the Belgium internatio­nal is now set to leave Old Trafford on a permanent basis, with Real Sociedad understood to be among the clubs speaking to United about a deal.

Januzaj has a year left on his contract and United are reported to be looking at a fee in the region of £10million, as well as an option to re-sign the player if he flourishes. ■■Matz Sels is close to sealing a loan move to Anderlecht as Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez prepares to shake up his goalkeepin­g department.

The 25-year-old Belgian is set to return to his native country just 12 months after heading for Tyneside from Gent on a five-year deal.

A £5m signing, Sels started last season as Benitez’s first-choice keeper, but lost his place to Karl Darlow in September and has made only five appearance­s – all of them in cup competitio­ns – since.
