Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is prepared to send Adnan Januzaj out on-loan this month.

The Daily Mail says Januzaj is expected to be loaned out later this transfer window after struggling to be involved in Louis van Gaal first team plans.

Only last season, Januzaj was being courted by top clubs across Europe and indeed by the England national team after breaking through under previous manager David Moyes.

This time round, however, the 19-year-old has made hardly any impact under Van Gaal and has only been given two starts in the Premier League all season.

Van Gaal has indicated to United chief executive Ed Woodward that Januzaj isn't in his current plans as he doesn't think he is suited to the wing-back role and has fallen behind the likes of Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Angel di Maria for the coveted 'number ten' position.
