Adnan Januzaj, the talented 19-year-old winger from Manchester United, has made his decision regarding international football. He has chosen to represent the Belgian national team, known as the Red Devils, in the upcoming World Cup in Brazil and for the remainder of his career.
This decision comes as a boost for Marc Wilmots, the coach of the Belgian national team, who expressed his delight at having Januzaj available for selection. Januzaj had the option to play for several national teams, including Albania, Turkey, Serbia, Kosovo, and potentially England in the future, but he ultimately opted to represent Belgium.
Born in Brussels, Januzaj has been a promising talent since his early days at FC Brussels and later at Anderlecht before joining Manchester United in 2011 at the age of 16.
This announcement provides a positive development for Belgium, especially considering the absence of striker Christian Benteke due to an Achilles tendon injury. Januzaj’s inclusion adds depth and quality to the Belgian squad as they prepare for the World Cup.
