Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj will select Belgium as the country he’ll play for if Belgium adds him to their World Cup squad, according to a report today on a Belgium website.
The newspaper says that a source close to the family said that Januzaj would choose Belgium as his national team if Belgium coach Marc Wilmots selects the Manchester United footballer for the World Cup 2014 squad. Belgium currently sit on top of their group, and a win later this week against Croatia will seal their qualification for World Cup 2014.
