Adnan Januzaj is set to complete a loan move from Manchester United to Sunderland, but would have preferred to cut all ties with Old Trafford after being left ‘humiliated’ over his treatment by the club this summer.
Januzaj has been training with the reserves since he was told in a face-to-face meeting with manager Jose Mourinho last month that he would not be part of United’s 26-man first-team squad.
However, it is understood that the Belgium winger has refused to share a dressing-room with the Under 21s. He has said to have been turning up at Carrington already dressed for training, and on one occasion this month even got changed in a toilet.
