Adnan Januzaj wants to leave Manchester United on a permanent transfer.
The 21-year-old was one of a number of United players to discuss their future with manager Jose Mourinho on Thursday and was told he was free to go out on loan and find regular football.
However, the Belgium international would prefer to start his career afresh and make a permanent move away from Old Trafford. Continue
Januzaj was heralded as United's next great hope in 2013. He signed a lucrative five year contract under David Moyes as the club fought to ensure he didn't follow the same path as Paul Pogba and leave as a teenager.
He made his competitive debut in the Community Shield in 2013 and scored twice on his first start for the club against Sunderland. He was even nominated for BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year after just ten games.
However, after Moyes left, Januzaj struggled to make an impression under Louis van Gaal and a subsequent loan at Borussia Dortmund only earned criticism from the German club's staff for his attitude.
The Belgium international was left out of this weekend's trip to Sweden and is now looking for a move with Sunderland, Everton, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Ajax among those keen to take him.
United will also listen to offers for Andreas Pereira, who has interest from PSV Eindhoven and Leicester, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Will Keane and Tyler Blackett.
Cameron Borthwick Jackson, James Wilson and Paddy McNair will be allowed out on loan though Wilson may yet opt to stay.
