Januzaj bemoans lack of Dortmund playing time

Adnan Januzaj has blamed a lack of opportunities at Borussia
Dortmund for his inability to find form while on loan in the
Bundesliga from Manchester United.

Belgium attacker Januzaj is yet to make a league start for
Dortmund and completed 90 minutes for just the second time
this season in a 1-0 defeat to PAOK in the Europa League on
Thursday.

The 20-year-old believes he possesses the quality to make an
impact at Signal Iduna Park, but bemoaned head coach Thomas
Tuchel's apparent resistance to give him a run of games to
prove himself.

"I do not have the form to play better on the field. I just need
more games," Januzaj told reporters.

"I train very hard, but I do not have many games in my legs,
which makes it difficult for me mentally. I need more games to
be a better player.

"I have qualities that I demonstrated in Manchester. But it is
difficult at the moment."

United manager Louis van Gaal said last week that Januzaj
may come to regret his Dortmund move as it looks to have
stalled a once-promising career.

While clearly frustrated at Dortmund, Januzaj was also hesitant
to suggest a return to Old Trafford would help him recapture his
best form.

He added: "I wasn't surprised to get loaned after scoring against
Aston villa. I wanted to go somewhere I can play more often. I
am happy in Dortmund, but I need more matches.

"I don't know if I will play for Manchester United next season."
