Of all the players who have failed to live up to expectations at Manchester United in the post Sir Alex Ferguson era, Adnan Januzaj’s case has been the most interesting of all.
He made a strong impact straightaway after being introduced by David Moyes. His rise was meteoric. He quickly became the darling boy. He inherited the no 11 shirt from Ryan Giggs. Great things were expected of him. The kid was destined to rule the Premier League, such was the assumption.
And then by the turn of the next season, things looked dull and bleak for him.
