Something needs to happen for him now. He either steps up and starts playing more for United, or he will be loaned or even sold

Needs to be actually played to do that.
I have lost all hope. I don't see any reason why young is on the bench ahead of him. He's probably going to go this summer.
This will be even worse than Pogba since this kid has actually proven himself on the premier league level stage. Unless this is about his attitude which I highly doubt it is (he seemed very professional on the pitch at least) we will regret this.

It's LvG trying to be stubborn. If a player crosses him once it's curtains for them. Sometimes the manager has to put their hands around young player even after scolding, to get the best out of them. I'd rather he puts confidence in players like Januzaj and Pereira than in Young, Valencia and Fellaini; players that are past their peaks. LvG is quickly becoming the potential killer!
It is ridiculous. Januzaj was first and now we're seeing it with Peraira.
No problem, LVG's great at developing youth.
It will be great when he leaves us and we keep the likes of Valencia and Young for another few years. 
Well, Januzaj wil never come close to Pogba's level but to see im so far behind Young, Valencia et al is a bit soul destroying. Young, Valencia and Fellaini are on the bench ahead of him. Ouch.
Valencia is not on the bench ahead of him. Valencia is a RB, Adnan is not.
yup. as per sam luckhurst/MEN it's the reason he wasn't on the bench (not that that's any solace at this point, seeing as he needs to play either here or somewhere else at this point) at the weekend. nevermind the bollocks of him being dropped by the u21's.
nevertheless, this just once again shows how bad his attitude is and how we need to get rid of him.

Exactly, What an a-hole, why didn't he stretch properly before walking around on the pitch. Poor attitude
Not even in the squad for the U21s tonight - he really is out in the cold!
He is injured.
Ah right!
I doubt he will get any minutes the rest of the season. With his injuries and the importance of the remaining games, only "trusted" players will be playing. This season has been a total loss for him.
We need to keep hold of him, and try him on the right. Some take the chances very young, some don't. We don't want a Pogba repeat.
He's clearly a great talent. He's got the touch, the finishing, the ability to dribble and beat his man, the eye for a beautiful pass. Now he's bulked up, too, so he'll be stronger.
People forget how he was carrying the team during the Moyes' fiasco. He deserves more chances at this club, and a new manager will help him. This year went horribly wrong, and he's made wrong decisions both on and off the pitch. He shouldn't have gone to Dortmund, he shouldn't have showboated for the U21s. But he must get more chances.
We haven't seen a front three of Martial-Marcus-Adnan yet. I think that can be a great combination, since Adnan is clearly a step-up from Lingard. Before going after the Mahrezes and the Sanes, we need to give Adnan Januzaj a chance first.

Is he still alive?
Haven't heard about him in ages.

It's ridiculous how ungrateful or forgetful the CAF can be. When he emerged as an 18 year old, he was literally our go to man in a disastrous campaign. The only shining light in that season.
A few mishaps later, many give up on him at 21! I really do fear for the likes of Rashford, TFM et al in this place of they have a bad period
I agree. Would love to see him on the right wing, in the system we're currently playing.
Yeah it'd be great to see him given a shot in place of Linford in this setup. 0 goals and 0 assists in the past... 11 matches I believe is not enough from Lingard considering he's pretty much played the full 90.
Problem is Januzaj has had a hamstring injury for some time now... it's not as though he's been entirely frozen out. Nevertheless time is pretty much out for this season.

I would also go on and say that he was may more impressive than Rashford (saying something) and TFM.
The boy had world class written all over him. Honestly he needs to be played or we will lose another top talent.
He is still injured.
This. I agree there is a responsibility of the player to apply himself but it's way too early to write him off. I remember were said to be sniffing around and we rejected any offer. The coaching staff also have a responsibility to make sure young talents reach their potential. I guess it's a lack of full time staff to commit to developing individual talents.
His attitude can't be that bad either. I'm sure he took a PT along with him on holiday, same with Shaw, to fight for a spot in the team. This in itself should not be a big deal but the current climate of over pampered footballers, I'd say that is impressive.
He didn't make much of an impression on loan and is far from being an option today. I think he can still make it at the club. Sometimes players just need some time to grow and when they're ready to play a manager like LVG will be there and make sure that happens.
To me it's obvious he's got attitude problems. Looks lazy and thinks too highly of himself. Perhaps that will change.

At least there is no chance of that happening with Mourinho in charge.
He wasn't better than rashford though. He wasn't any good against the top teams. He showed talent but didn't win us important games like rashford.
He was literally carrying that shambolic side as an 18 year old.
Hugely overated by some, potential yes but has not lived up to it as of yet.
Against the smaller sides. I can't remember him doing a lot against the bigger teams. He was excellent vs Sunderland Southampton Aston villa and all. Rashford won us games vs city and Arsenal for instance. It's highly debatable januzaj was better than rashford that season.
He wasn't carrying the team anyway. He was an integral player yes and sometimes our only bright spark but carrying the team that season? No way. Carrying would mean something Suarez did or at least what martial did this season.
Januzaj's influence on the whole team was much gretaer than you have asserted, regardless the team's that we were up against. Carrying a team does not mean that you carry them to success but being the inspiration the team turns to. It may be 2 seasons ago but Januzaj's influence was that epic, in a team that contained Rooney, RvP, Nani et al. He broke into a team not as a result of injuries iirc. No doubt he has failed off a bit but let's not underplay his effort then.
Yes he inspired us in a few games yes but not an entire season. And the games he inspired were mostly against the likes of Fulham Stoke Sunderland and all.
Anyway the initial point was his 13/14 wasn't better than rashford s current season. Rashford won us games on his own sometimes, much important games that too. So it's highly debatable to call januzaj s first season better.
Except he actually did it on the pitch a few seasons ago. It's not like there's talent that has never been seen.
We finished 7th. Maybe that's just his level.
He did. I cannot speak regarding LvG's criticism but what Thomas Tuchel suggested fitness wasn't the issue with Adnan (at least not at the end of his loan spell). Tuchel has been working almost 10 years as a youth coach in at least three different academies, in the ranks of U15 to U19 teams IIRC. He has helped many young players to establish themselves in his now almost 6 years as head coach. Therefore, I trust that he knows his stuff and judged on Adnan's attitude not prematurely.

Maybe this is too utopic, but I think he needs a father like figure who can guide him into a mentally strong zone. He needs encouragement and grounding at the same time, and a coach with good man-management skills might yet bring out the brilliant footballer in him onto the pitch consistently. The people advising him currently, mainly his agent Dirk Devriese and his father, perhaps need to take a look at how they've approached matters so far.
How we miss Fergie, eh?

And the rest of the squad too? Maybe that's their level too?
sound logic.Well some of them have medals to there name. At the time our level was probably good for his development. Where we are going not so.
