Ex-Man Utd winger Januzaj: People now talk about me differently at Real Sociedad

Former Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj says he's turning people's opinions while at Real Sociedad.

The Belgium international made a permanent £9million move from United to Sociedad in 2017 and feels at home in Spain.

"I was a bit scared of how I was going to fit in and the lifestyle, but today I'm really chilled and happy here," he told the Daily Mail.

"I've learned a lot in terms of how to behave myself and stay calm. I worked a lot for the past few years on that. Somebody who works in this club helped me to be mentally more relaxed and let my football flow.

"Now people are talking totally differently about me. I never had problems with any coaches, I always work hard and I've got two World Cups in me.

"I will tell you the truth, from my first year at United to now I'm a totally different player. I've changed a lot in terms of quality, confidence and mentality. I'm enjoying my football.

"If you don't enjoy it somewhere, you have to enjoy it somewhere else. Life doesn't stop."
