Belgian agent Christophe Henrotay was shocked by Mastazo's decision to reject the club of his youth.
Henrotay whose clients include Thibaut Courtois and Yannick Carrasco said: "It's very bizarre that the boy is leaving now," Henrotay reportedly told Het Nieuwsblad.
"Before, he did not want anything else than to sign with Anderlecht."
Reports from Voetbalkrant in December said that Manchester United even contacted the Mastazo entourage through Romelu Lukaku's family.
Born in Brussels to Congolese parents, Mastazo has earned eight caps with the Belgium U-16 side but he is yet to make his senior debut for Anderlecht.
