It is five years ago this month since Adnan Januzaj last stepped on to the pitch at Old Trafford, as a substitute for Marcus Rashford who had stolen the show with his very first Premier League goals against Arsenal.

He had been the rising star once, also scoring twice on his first league start for United in a win at Sunderland in October 2013.

Disillusioned with life under Louis van Gaal, Januzaj had returned from a difficult loan spell at Borussia Dortmund under an equally tough taskmaster in Thomas Tuchel and knew he had no future in Manchester.
