Adnan Januzaj has admitted that Louis van Gaal’s system has stalled his Manchester United career.
Van Gaal is a big fan of wing-backs and Januzaj has failed to nail down a regular spot under the Dutch manager.
The 19-year-old made his first Premier League start since November 8 against Leicester City last weekend, but he has confessed that he is finding it hard to adapt to the new tactics.
“Yes, the system can make it more difficult for me to play there but I have to keep working That is what I am doing in training every day, as I want to get more games this season,” Januzaj said.
“I’m not really a wing-back. It’s harder for me because there is more defending involved and I’m not really a defender.”
When asked about his best position, Januzaj, speaking to United Review, said: “It depends on how my football evolves. My favourite position is as a No.10 or a winger.
“There are lots of players here and I can play in different roles – it’s just a case of taking my opportunities.”
