Adnan Januzaj Completes Transfer to Real Sociedad from Manchester United

Real Sociedad completed the signing of Adnan Januzaj from Manchester United on Wednesday. 

United wished the 22-year-old winger well on Twitter:

Januzaj joined United's youth academy from Anderlecht in 2011 and impressed as a teenager in his first senior appearances for the Red Devils under manager David Moyes in the 2013-14 season.

However, his progress has stalled in the years since. He endured a miserable loan spell at Borussia Dortmund in 2015-16, which was ended early due to a lack of game time.

In 2016-17, he spent a season on loan at Sunderland, making 25 Premier League appearances and returning three assists as the Black Cats were relegated.

Januzaj will be desperate to revitalise his career at La Real, and a move to La Liga could be beneficial.

He has plenty of ability and boasts a number of key assets that could mean he thrives in the Spanish game, including pace, close-ball control and fine link-up play.

But Januzaj will need game time if he is to make progress and will need to impress La Real manager Eusebio Sacristan early if he is to hit the ground running at his new club
