Manchester United have rejected an approach for Adnan Januzaj from Paris Saint-Germain according to the teenager's agent.

The French champions tried to buy the Belgian winger in the previous winter transfer window and again contacted United about taking the player, his representative Dirk de Vriese claimed.

“Yes, PSG have shown themselves to be interested this winter,” the agent told the French website Foot Mercato.

Januzaj has been keen to go on loan this January to try and gain more playing time but the manager has so far insisted the 19-year-old must remain at the club.
