I have seen a lot of people being negative about Januzaj's contract situation, but these people are forgetting one thing. The reason Pogba left was because he wasn't playing when he felt he should be. Of course the money would have been a factor too but if he'd been getting games I have no doubt he would have stayed.
Adnan is getting games and not only playing but also making an impact. Playing football will be first on his mind when looking at offers and if he is playing and being paid well why would he leave the club that has supported him and given him his big break?
We could argue all day long whether SAF made the right call with Pogba or not but I am very confident that Adnan will be here for a while.
For now let's enjoy watching him and let the club tie him down to a long term deal in the not to distant future
The difference between Adnan and Pogba

No one can begrudge Pogba leaving. Top players have to have an element of arrogance and confidence to make it to the top. Pogba was looking across Europe and seeing 18 year olds breaking into top teams and trusted to go out and do a job. Unfortunately for him he had a manger that did not trust him and decided to play wingers, full backs and bring back player from retirement, all at a time when his club was having a midfield injury crisis.
Yes it is horrible watching him do so well at another club but it is all SAF's fault.
I for one would love it if Moyes put in a bid for him in 1 or 2 years time and brought him back. It would have to be an almighty bid though.

juventus would want a massive bid as you say, would love moyes to go for pogba but cant see it really. playing regular football for a great club and getting paid pretty well. plus italy is a better place than england

I think the game that did it for Pogba was Blackburn at home a couple of seasons ago. a defeat that cost us the title. Rafael played in midfield, Pogba was on the bench !

Imagine if, so soon after a summer in the transfer doldrums, we made one of our most telling 'signings' of recent times by getting Januzaj to stay... There would be a pleasing irony if he went on to be the next big thing. Obviously a big 'if', at present, but here's hoping.

NOW!

I totally agree Rooneysmiles. Why lose a £30m pound player for the sake of 50 grand a week.

Pogba at juventus doing so well really does irritate me as hes literally perfect for Utd right now
As for Januzaj if we cannot keep him we have to question the ambition of the club and long term future. Hes that good !!

Just seen this, I couldn't believe our team against blackburn to. Rafael and park both not central midfielders played ahead of a youngster who impressed. I think SAF at times was hypocritical he used to go on about young players then played 39 or 40 year olds near 90 minutes on two away games that are tough. I still cannot believe the team sheet against man city in 2012 away. He went for experience over what the real team should have been full of young players.
Pogba had every right to go though, He used to be a mature central midfielder and now hes added goals to his game but saf didn't want to play him and instead yes while scholes was a great player he got scholes out of retirement before choosing pogba. So when we have a midfielder crysis he doesn't pick pogba and then he plays a player who retired who comes back regularly. No wonder why he decided to leave.
Januzaj will leave to if he doesn't get the opportunities especially if players who play bad get picked ahead of him after he plays well.

Depends who comes for him really (if they come)
if one of the big 2 or Bayern come for him he's gone and it's nothing to do with the ambition of the club
If Monaco or PSG offer him double+ wages for what he's worth or even potentially worth and he opts for the cash then again it's got nothing to do with United
