Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj is reportedly desperate to force through a permanent move to Sunderland after being left humiliated by Jose Mourinho.
The 21-year-old has been told that he does not have a future at Old Trafford and must look for a new club during the current transfer window.
Januzaj has failed to truly push on at United since making his breakthrough under now-Sunderland boss David Moyes, and has since been made to train with the Red Devils' youth players.
According to The Sun, the Belgium international is keen to swap United for the Black Cats on a full-time basis, but the club's top brass blocked the move and will instead only allow him to leave on loan.
Januzaj, who also failed to make an impression during a stint at Borussia Dortmund last term, will join Donald Love and Paddy McNair in linking up with former boss Moyes should he seal a switch.
