Manchester United agree first big January transfer, announcement could be soon

Louis van Gaal’s club already announced the agreement in principle, and that will see Adnan Januzaj go up the East Lancs Road to Merseyside and for the rest of the current season  he will be signed by Everton on loan. TMW explained the agreement, was clearly encouraged by Everton’s success with Romelu Lukaku when he first arrived from Chelsea. The Belgian connection must count for something.

Despite that reported agreement Everton may not have it all their own way. According to France Football, French club PSG are keen on, if they can’t reach a deal for former Chelsea star Kevin De Bruyne. PSG wouldn’t be the only other interested party outside of the Premier league. Inter Milan have also displayed their interest but then they’re connected with everyone at both ends of the market. Real Sociedad have declared their interest continuously in the British media but press local to the Spanish club have spoilt that idea, declaring that Moyes hasn’t asked for Januzaj.

TMW told that Januzaj’s family would like he remains in the Premier League. In that case, the reported agreement with Everton could materialise as quickly as next Thursday. Should that occur  then Manchester United would be wise to do similar to what Barcelona did with Gerard Deulofeu. The Spanish club had a contract with Everton which saw them pay less for him the more they used him. Manchester United fans may remember how badly Roberto Martinez used Angelo Henriquez at Wigan, and Van Gaal would ask some protection against that.
 

Update: The Manchester United manager said on Christmas Day night about Januzaj “No. He is a player of United.”

Whilst manager words on their own mean little in relation to moves, considering that there’s so much cloak and dagger stuff, that the comments were Tweeted out of context by the club’s Twitter feed may be more telling. At 10pm on Christmas Day night, Manchester United tweeted that quote, which may – if you were determined not to take things at real value – suggest the club were keen to get a message out about Januzaj.
