Sunderland scoop United’s Januzaj on a one-year loan

Whilst Papy Djilobodji signed late last week to give us more depth in the centre of defence, McNair can cover a number of positions whilst Love is more of an out-and-out right back.

The Belgium global was handed his break with United when Moyes was in charge at Old Trafford, but struggled for game-time under Louis van Gaal.

Moyes is now closing in on the signing of two United players, but they aren’t Fellaini and Januzaj.

“I’m going to try to get him back to the level he was at a couple of years ago”.

Sunderland have completed the signings of Manchester United pair Paddy McNair and Donald Love for a combined fee of £5.5 million (€6.4 million).

Northern Ireland worldwide McNair made 27 appearances in total for the Red Devils while Love enjoyed a much less fruitful time in Manchester.

They are now managed by David Moyes, who gave Januzaj his first real run as a United first-teamer during his brief spell in charge during the 2013-14 season.

“Adnan fits into my plans, which is why he’s on loan at a Premier League club”.

New Black Cats boss David Moyes was a known admirer of the defensive duo and has moved quickly to bring in the two 21-year-olds on four-year deals.

After being left out of Jose Mourinho’s squad for the upcoming season, Adnan Januzaj wants to leave Old Trafford and looks set to spurn AC Milan in favour of Sunderland.

Jose Mourinho figure to be more of the same, and that’s why Moyes was so prickly in trying to bring Januzaj over to Sunderland, as he has been incredibly outspoken as to how talented the young man is.

“We can not be selfish, we have to think about the players and he is in the right place with a manager that likes him”.

Januzaj, who now has number 15, has been instructed to train with United’s reserve-team players. With Sunderland prepping to face Manchester City this weekend, Moyes announced the addition of the winger.
