Manchester United castaway Adnan Januzaj is a key target for Real Sociedad after club president Jokin Aperribay confirms interest
The 22-year-old looks destined to leave the Red Devils on a permanent basis in the summer after failing to impress for relegated Sunderland
REAL SOCIEDAD have confirmed their interest in snapping up Adnan Januzaj.
But the La Liga outfit concede they face a fight to seal a deal for the Manchester United wideman, who was on loan at Sunderland last term.
United want £10million but both Milan clubs, Marseille and Lyon are all circling on the 22-year-old.
Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay said: “It’s true that we are interested (in Januzaj), but we are not in talks with Manchester or with him.
“We are waiting for the decision of Manchester United and then we will act. There are more teams interested in him and his signing won’t be easy.”
Tipped as a future Red Devils legend by David Moyes during his short stay at Old Trafford, the Belgian international has failed to hit the heights since the 2013/14 season.

A loan spell at Borussia Dortmund failed to win over any admirers where he was recalled by the Premier League side after making just three starts in the first half of the campaign.
He couldn't help the Black Cats avoid relegation, as he failed to find the back of the net in 25 league matches.
Januzaj could decide to run down the last year of his contract with the EFL Cup and Europa League winners, but will be desperate for much- needed game time if he wishes to force his way into Roberto Martinez's World Cup plans.
He hasn't added to his six caps for Belgium since 2014.
