Amazing progression is less than a year
From the U18s to the U21s to the senior team his progression has been seamless and he hasn't looked out of place at each level.
You always want to be careful talking about young players — but it is difficult when you see the performance that Adnan Januzaj put in for Manchester United.
They are a club steeped in history, with a tradition of attacking wingers and blooding young players. But even so it’s difficult to remember a debut with so much impact.
His goals, combined with David de Gea’s world-class save, turned the match from a game in which Sunderland felt they had a chance, to one in which Manchester United were in control.
The important thing for United is now to get him signed up because he only has eight months left on his contract.
But he couldn’t be at a better club for promoting young talent. David Moyes gave him his chance because he sensed the moment was right. And for taking that risk, he was rewarded. Januzaj is clearly a special talent: the smoothness with which he uses the ball, the way in which he rose to the task.
The visiting fans know that, in this remarkable 18-year-old, they may have witnessed an extraordinary full debut and that their club’s long history of promoting youth is in safe hands.
Looks good on the right too. Could play all 3 positions. May allow us to be more fluid in the future.
