Goal of the Day: J is for Januzaj

Adnan Januzaj began his career in his country of birth, Belgium, with Anderlecht, before joining the United Academy at the age of 16.

He rose to prominence in the first season following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, where he was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing year, as United finished seventh in the Premier League table.

A player of rich promise, he is remembered for his superb Premier League debut, where his two goals – the second of which you can see below – earned United a 2-1 win.

SIGNING FOR UNITED

Januzaj had joined Anderlecht as a 10-year-old, but moved to United in 2011, after impressing at a skills session in Belgium.
