The 26-year-old is coming off the back of a terrible debut season at Manchester United, where he failed to score in 21 appearances in all competitions.
He did come off the bench to score in Belgium’s first World Cup game against Algeria, but underwhelmed throughout the rest of the competition, as they crashed out in the group stage. It also seems as though he’s slipping down the pecking order at Old Trafford, with midfielder Ander Herrera having already arrived, and more reinforcements apparently on the way.
Perhaps the trim will help convince Van Gaal that he is a man that means business this season.
