Adnan Yanuzay: David Moyes's spotlight failure in "Manchester United"

In the 2013-2014 season, Adnan Yanuzai was to become the wand of David Moyes' wand in Manchester United. The club, which turned out to be unrepentant after the resignation of the former boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, suddenly exposed all its weaknesses. In addition, the players did not particularly gratify the new coach, referring to training and games through the sleeves. At the same time, several young players were shining in the reserve team, among them Adnan Januzai was a special place. Photo and some interesting facts from the biography of a young Belgian, we will provide in the materials of the next publication.

Interest from the Scouts of United

Januzai is considered to be a "homegrown" football player, who passed through training in the youth academy "MU". But it is not so. Scouts select young players for training usually at an early age, no later than 10 years. Adnan's parents, Albanians by birth, emigrated from Kosovo to Belgium and it was there that his first steps began in his professional career.

Already at the age of 6 years, the boy began training in the football academy "Brussels". There he was spotted by the scouts Anderlecht and only then he fell into the sphere of interests of the English grandee. As a result, Adnan Januzai moved to Manchester United at the age of 16, where he started to play for the youth team. However, in fact, a young Belgian can be considered home-grown, because according to the rules of the English league, a footballer who has spent 3 years in the local club system before his full age is considered such.

Adult team transition

Undoubtedly, Januzai has a talent and a great perspective. In his only season at the helm of the "Red Devils" David Moyes led the young man to the games in the main team with extreme caution, without forcing the events. The young Belgian, who at that time was 18 years old, could easily get into the application for the match of the group stage of the Champions League, but never play on the field for a minute. But very soon Adnanu Januzai will have to literally blow out for the entire main United squad, and the fans will see him as the only bright spot in the game of the re-building club. Therefore it is believed that it was David Moyes who revealed the talent of a Belgian at such a high level.

In one of the interviews, the coach talked about Januzai as a universal attacking midfielder, ready to play both in the center of the field and on the flanks. However, the position of the "tens" was considered for Yanuzai only for the future. In addition, in the "United" under Moyes, there were not enough great flank players who possess high speed and excellent dribbling. And Adnan Januzai coped with the mission entrusted to himself, only the more experienced partners did not support the young Belgian in this endeavor. Season team was completely failed, and Moyes retired.

Rent in Borussia

When Louis Van Gull stood at the helm of the team, he instantly debugged a tough discipline in the team, a third of the players sorted, and in their place acquired star or prospective players. Thus, Adnan Yanuzai again had to prove his place in the starting lineup, which he did not particularly manage. The young Belgian in the next season for himself in the adult team, "United" appeared on the field except for a substitute. Various clubs of the Premier League immediately expressed the desire to take the young talent by hand, leasing it from the Sir Alexanians.

The fans were indignant. Why is the Belgian not given a chance to prove himself? And Van Gull seemed to hear the angry statements of the fans. Season 2015-2016 Adnan Januzai starts in the starting lineup, in one of the games he even scored the winning goal for his team. But the general impression of the footballer's game left much to be desired, and he was leased to Dortmund Borussia until June 30, 2016, so as not to lose the game practice.
