Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj admits he didn't get along with Louis van Gaal.

Great things were expected from Januzaj when he inherited the legendary No11 shirt from Ryan Giggs.

Yet he did not click with former boss Louis van Gaal, who never really played him in what the youngster believes is his best position. Speaking to the Belgian press, Januzaj, on-loan with Sunderland, said: “I had a difficult year but that's football. You have to take it like a man.

“It has not worked with Van Gaal. But you must always work and show people who have not believed in me that I have the qualities.

“Giggs was an icon and gave me his number. He always told me that if I needed him for something, I could always go to him. But I was always a No10, not a left winger or right winger or a striker. That's how I grew up."
