Didn't immediately find a thread on this but Belgian and Dutch media are reporting United signed Belgian 16 year old Adnan Januzaj. Also not sure if this is supposed to go to the Manchester United section or this one, but since it's not confirmed yet by any other sources I chose this section.

Het jonge Belgische talent Adnan Januzaj verlaat de jeugd van Sporting Anderlecht voor die van Manchester United. *** meldt Sport/Voetbalmagazine. De net 16 jaar geworden offensieve middenvelder tekende een contract voor vier jaar.

Januzaj is sinds zijn tiende actief bij de Belgische landskampioen. Bij Manchester United zou Januzaj 12.000 euro per maand gaan verdienen. Andere geïnteresseerde clubs als Aston Villa en het Franse OSC Lille visten naar verluidt achter het net.

Manchester United is momenteel koploper in de Engelse competitie. De Red Devils staan vier punten los van de achtervolgers, Arsenal. Ook Manchester City kruipt dichterbij. De stadsgenoten staan op vijf punten achterstand, maar hebben één wedstrijd meer gespeeld.

Short translation:

Sport/Voetbalmagazine reports that young Belgian talent Adnan Januzaj leaves the Anderlechts youth academy and signed a 4 year contract with Manchester United.

Januzaj has been in the Anderlecht academy since he was 10 years old. He is said to earn 12.000 euro per month in Manchester. Other clubs such as Aston Villa and OSC Lille were also interested.

If he was any good we'd be paying him over a hundred grand a month.

And he's not even homeless.

3000 pounds per week for a 16 year old!. I wouldn't know what to do with more than 3/4th of that if i got that many as a 16 year old.

But then again time has changed from when i was 16, that was extremely difficult to admit as i'm still only 20. Bloody Ipads and Igizmo's.

RSCA.BE - Manchester United intéressé par Adnan Januzaj


The great English club Manchester United has expressed interest in the talented young Adnan JANUZAJ who was born February 5, 1995. The young Brussels is currently receiving training for young people to RSC Anderlecht. In the coming days, both clubs will negotiate about a possible transfer.

"Interest Januzaj Adnan is a great compliment to the training of youth in Purple and White" , said Herman Van Holsbeeck , our general manager. "The future will tell if the player makes the right decision by not jumping on now but the good work delivered by the center Neerpede is illustrated by the reported interest of Man United. "

We'll develop him into a fine player, ship him out for £5m when he's good enough to Lyon, who will then sell him for £25m to Real Madrid a year and a half later. I make this post because when it actually happens, I will be the only one who predicted this.

There's a lot of Belgian talent out there these days it seems. Here's hoping this guy has as much promise as the likes of Hazard, Defour and Witsel.

So you are comparing him to De Laet purely because he is Belgian. Brilliant.

Let's hope Lindegaard isn't the new Bendtner.

I usually don't. Thankfully you were banned from the reserves forum where I normally post. Unfortunately you've polluted a thread outside of there I was quite interested in hence I responded.

Are you not tired of all this b/s?

All you seem to do is slag off or ridiculously overhype players you've seen for about 2 mins.

I am allowed to write off young United players and I am not afraid to post if I think this. I will praise a young player too.

I like his name though - Januzaj. I have absolutely no idea how that's pronounced and I can imagine plenty of commentators having a funny go at it when he finally makes it at Lyon.
