Adnan Januzaj: 'Life at Manchester United under Louis van Gaal was difficult... there wasn't freedom'

Adnan Januzaj believes his Manchester United career began to struggle when Louis van Gaal was brought in to replace David Moyes in the summer of 2014.

Januzaj had been hailed as United's future star, the next generation after Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Co had all ended their playing days.

He made an electric start to his career at Old Trafford, scoring two goals as United came from behind to beat Sunderland 2-1 in October 2013.

But he failed to kick on and when life under the Dutchman became frustrating.
