Januzaj opts for Belgium

Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj has ended months of speculation by choosing to represent Belgium at international level, national coach Marc Wilmots revealed on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old, who has been at United since he was 16 and has made several eye-catching performances this season, could have played for Albania, Turkey, Kosovo, Serbia or even England.

However, his decision means he is available for selection for Belgium for this year's World Cup Finals.

"I have received the official confirmation that Adnan Januzaj is available for selection for Belgium for the rest of his career!" tweeted Wilmots, who has guided the Belgians to their first World Cup Finals since 2002.
