Adnan Januzaj's agent has claimed that he turned down a lucrative offer from Paris Saint-Germain before signing a new deal with Manchester United that made him "the world's highest paid youngster" in October.

Januzaj signed a five-year contract reportedly worth around £50,000 a week to stay at Old Trafford despite interest from elsewhere.

"Minutes before Adnan signed a new deal at Manchester United, PSG offered us an astonishing deal. As Adnan was a free agent at the end of the season, the Qatari were ready to offer anything," agent Dirk De Vries told Belgian publication Sport/Voetbalmagazine. "It could have been interesting from a commercial point of view. But money has never been a deciding factor in his choice.

"I can say Adnan's the best paid youngster in the world. He earns more than [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi when they were 18. It could have been interesting from a commercial point of view. But money has never been a deciding factor in his choice."

Januzaj was named Man of the Match in United's 3-1 victory over Hull on Tuesday.
