Manchester United starlet Andan Januzaj has offered a glimmer of optimism for Manchester United fans with the admission that he wants to spend the entirety of his careera at the Old Trafford club.

The 18 year old Belgium born midfielder recently signed a 5 year deal with the club and told MUTV: “My first opinion was to sign for Manchester United," Januzaj told MUTV. "It was my first choice and I have signed for them. I am happy here. If I could play all my life at Manchester United I would do it for the club."

Januzaj, who has impressed with a series of excellent displays in his short time at the club, admitted he envisages himself as a number 10 in the future.

"My best position is behind the striker as a No10," he said. "I always used to play there when I was really young. I can also play on the wings and I always do my best. I would do that even if it was at left-back. It is my job. But No10 is the position I always wanted to play,” Januzaj said.

Despite the praise and hype that has surrounded him since his start in the United first team – making his Premier League bow with 2 goals against Sunderland – Januzaj reiterated the need to continue to earn his place in David Moyes’ first team plans.

"The boss gave me a chance and I couldn't have asked for more than to score two goals on my debut. I was really happy with those goals. Now I have to continue and score more if I can because I have to prove I can play at first-team level,” Januzaj said.
