Manchester United hire chef to teach young stars Luke Shaw and Adnan Januzaj to cook

Luke Shaw and Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal in discussion during a training session.

They may be able to stand the heat on the pitch, but young stars Luke Shaw and Adnan Januzaj will no longer have to stay out of the kitchen – with Manchester United arranging for a top chef to teach them how to cook.

According to  The Sun , the club sends a chef to their homes to give them advice on diet and food preparation.

And they could easily have taken advantage of their new-found skills on Christmas Day, after Manchester United players were given the day off by Louis van Gaal ahead of the visit of Newcastle on Boxing Day.

Adnan Januzaj is another youngster being given advice on diet and food preparation

Januzaj, meanwhile, has struggled to make an impact so far this campaign after such an impressive debut season under David Moyes.

The youngster is out of favour with Van Gaal, and could be set to leave the club on loan in January, with French champions Paris Saint-Germain among those interested to take him on loan.

His last appearance for United was on December 2 against Stoke City at Old Trafford, and with the club not in Europe this season, Januzaj would be eligible to play in the Champions League, while Premier League clubs such as Everton and Hull are also keen.
