Adnan Januzaj made shocking prediction to Man United boss
Former Manchester United defender Demetri Mitchell has revealed some amusing stories about former United star Adnan Januzaj. The pair shared time together at United The two players were involved in the youth team shortly around the time of Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013. Mitchell joined the academy in 2013 and made one senior appearance before leaving for Blackpool in 2020. He currently plays for Exeter City in League One. In a recent exchange on X, he revealed some interesting stories about his former teammate, Januzaj. The Belgian international has had a more successful career, playing 63 times for the United senior team and scoring five goals. He later moved to Real Sociedad and Sevilla in Spain. The winger also played at the World Cup for Belgium and has 15 caps for his national side. Januzaj's unfulfilled potential The exciting winger broke onto the scene in the 2013-2014 season, scoring two goals in a 2-1 win over Sunderland. His rise caught the imagination of fans, especially in the context of falling to seventh place after Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement the previous season. Nonetheless, he never really lived up to his billing and a lot of this failure to meet expectations could have come from an underlying overconfidence in his own ability. Speaking on X, his former teammate Mitchell stated that, 'Adnan once said to the manager Why do I need gym I'm going to win the ballon dor.' He also confirmed the story that Januzaj and Andreas Pereira were once told off for not taking a reserve game seriously by shooting from corners and doing unnecessary tricks during the match. Mitchell did praise the Belgian's ability though and claimed, 'he had that fake shot on lock though.' Another poster then claimed that the player still had a decent career and Mitchell responded, 'have to respect it he was different gravy.' Nonetheless, Januzaj is yet another cautionary tale of how talent won't get a footballer to the top alone. Many who played with him and saw his rise in the United ranks would defend his ability but he did not put in the hard yards to maximise every ounce of the immense talent that he possessed.

Spanish football in mourning as star, 23, dies after 15 days in a coma following horror car crash
SPANISH football has been plunged into mourning after Las Palmas star Zeben Ramos died following a horrific car smash. The Canary Islands club, relegated from La Liga last month, signed the defender from Villa Santa Brigida. But Ramos, 23, was involved in a road traffic collision on Gran Canaria earlier this month. He remained in a coma for 15 days while medics battled to save his life. But Las Palmas announced the left-back has now passed away as a result of his injuries. They said: "UD Las Palmas deeply regret having to announce the passing of Zebensui Ramos Gonzalez, known in football as Zeben. "The Las Palmas C team player, aged 23, was unable to overcome the severe injuries he sustained in a tragic collision on June 9 at Arucas on Gran Canaria. "A versatile left-sided defender with great prospects, Zeben stood out due to his commitment, character and ability to adapt to various defensive roles. "His non-stop hard work and his attitude on and off the pitch earned him the chance to repeatedly train with [reserve team] Las Palmas Atletico. "We wish to convey our deepest condolences to his family, friends and teammates, and to everyone who accompanied him during his football career. "The entire Yellows family unites in grief at Zeben's loss. He will forever remain in our hearts." Ramos rubbed shoulders with a host of past and current Premier League players at Las Palmas last term. Their squad included ex- Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj, former Nottingham Forest defender Scott McKenna and ex-Sheffield United frontman Oli McBurnie. Meanwhile, Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajectic and Wolves ace Fabio Silva spent time on loan to the Canaries club. Last season, the club were relegated as they finished 19th in their 20-team top flight.
