Louis van Gaal has blocked an approach made by Paris Saint Germain for Belgium international Adnan Januzaj, the player's agent has confirmed.
Despite playing the full 90 minutes in a disappointing 0-0 draw with Cambridge on Friday, the 19-year-old - who was a target for Inter Milan and Real Sociedad - has made just four Premier League starts under Van Gaal this season and is reportedly frustrated by his lack of playing time.
But Januzaj's agent, Dirk de Vriese, says the United boss is 'counting on everyone' and will keep the starlet at Old Trafford this January.
"Yes, PSG have shown themselves to be interested this winter," De Vriese told French website Foot Mercato. "They directly contacted Manchester United for information.

"But Louis van Gaal announced that he [Januzaj] cannot leave this winter. Not as a permanent transfer nor as a loan.
"The coach considered him as an important player for squad. He is counting on everyone.
"It seems like a definitive decision, I don’t think that it can change.”
