Agent: No Januzaj anger over LvG snub at Man Utd

The agent of Adnan Januzaj says the youngster is happy at Manchester United. The 19-year-old Belgium forward has yet to start a game under Van Gaal, making all six of his first-team appearances this season off the bench while playing for the club's Under 21 team.

"We want to stay," said the teenager's agent Dirk de Vries. "Adnan wants to gain experience in England as No 10 - he doesn't fear the competition.

"Just like anyone else he wants to play but he will wait for his opportunity. He is a super professional and he is still motivated, even when he has to play for the Under 21s.

"We're not angry. We know the club is very happy with him and they want to keep Adnan for the rest of his career at Old Trafford. They believe in him, otherwise he wouldn't be handed the No 11 of Ryan Giggs.

"We have to wait until Van Gaal gives him a chance. But we cannot look into the Dutchman's head and know what he thinks. I believe Adnan plays well at this moment and I've heard that he could start the game on Monday."
