Adnan Januzaj has reacted to Jose Mourinho’s decision to dump him from Manchester United’s squad by refusing to change with the reserve squad.

The Belgium international is angry he’s not been included in Mourinho’s 23-man squad after being told by the new United boss he’s not part of his plans this season.

Last week at United’s Carrington complex it’s believed on one occasion Januzaj changed for training with the reserves in a toilet adjacent to the Under-21 dressing room.

And on other days he arrived from his home already in his training kit.

The youngster is unhappy at having to change and play with United’s future stars and believes he’s not been shown the respect he deserves after playing 63 first team games under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal.

A United source revealed: “Januzaj is furious that he’s not part of Mourinho’s squad and has basically been banished to change in the Under-21 dressing room.

“He has spent the last couple of seasons with the first team when he’s not been out on loan and feels he should have been treated better.”

Valued around £20million by United, Januzaj will be allowed to leave permanently if the right offer emerges, otherwise they will send him out on loan.

Januzaj was tipped for big things when he was first promoted to the United senior team by Sir Alex Ferguson shortly before he retired in 2013.

Moyes gave him his full debut and the star initially shone triggering the belief that he was another whizz-kid in the making.

But his career stalled under van Gaal who shipped him out on loan last season to Borussia Dortmund.

His spell in the Bundesliga ended abruptly with Dortmund coaches unimpressed with Januzaj’s attitude and the loan agreement was cut short in January.

By contrast, I can reveal German international Bastian Schweinsteiger has behaved like a model pro.

Despite being unhappy at being sidelined by Mourinho the German star has not complained about his treatment and has gone to change and train with the junior stars.

That’s even in the knowledge that he can’t even play reserve team football at United.
