MANCHESTER UNITED and Arsenal cult heroes Adnan Januzaj and Nacho Monreal have been let go by Real Sociedad.
The pair both joined the Spanish club after leaving United and Arsenal in 2017 and 2019 respectively.
According to Fabrizio Romano, both players are being released by Sociedad after their contracts were not renewed.
Monreal, 36, suffered a severe knee injury before the start of the season and consequently missed the entirety of the season.
Meanwhile, Januzaj, 27, played 44 times for Sociedad this season contributing with five goals and three assists in all competitions.
It is likely this lack of end product which has caused the Belgian to fail to earn a new deal with them.

Sociedad finished sixth in La Liga this season, confirming another campaign of European football.
Januzaj rose to fame as a breakthrough star at United under David Moyes.
The then teenage prodigy contributed eight goals in 27 Premier League games, providing a shining light in an otherwise dim season of football for United.
Unfortunately, after Moyes was sacked Januzaj failed to impress the managers who followed and despite two loan moves away to try and re-find his form he was eventually sold in 2017.

He was part of the Arsenal squads which won three FA Cup trophies in four years, though he only started in two of the three finals.
