Sunderland winger Adnan Januzaj: My goal is to play for Man Utd

Sunderland winger Adnan Januzaj says he still wants a future with parent club Manchester United.

Lyon and Marseille are among the clubs waiting to pounce if he does not get a chance — but staying with United would be his first choice.

He told The Sun: “My goal is always to play at Manchester United. But you should always keep your ears open and keep options open.

“You cannot play for the future. I have a contract until 2018. There are many clubs interested. It is up to me to work, the rest will come.

“I never had any problems with Mourinho. He is a top coach. Last summer, they asked me to play a year on loan, to get some game-time because I had not played for a year.

“I joined Sunderland for playing time and to continue to make progress. After this season we'll see again.

“I've always had confidence in my football qualities. I've never been afraid of anything."
