Nando’s has pledged a £50 gift card to Adnan Januzaj after the Manchester United winger reportedly went on a date to the restaurant wearing tracksuit bottoms.

Details of Januzaj’s low-cost evening came to light after Melissa McKenzie, the woman who went on the date with the 18-year-old, took to The Sun newspaper to vent her dissatisfaction.

“I’ve never met anyone so stingy in my life,” McKenzie told The Sun. “I expected him to come to me in a flashy car, but I ended up driving him about in my old blue Fiesta and I was left to pay and display.”

She continued to explain that, after turning up in tracksuit bottoms, the United star spent £18 on a meal before asking for a lift back home.

Nando’s, the restaurant which provided the location of the ill-fated date, have offered a gift card worth £50 to Januzaj, posting a photo of it along with a letter addressed to Old Trafford on Twitter.

They tweeted: “Hey Adnan, the second date’s on us. (P.S. Maybe ditch the trackies?)”
