Deal done! Adnan Januzaj leaves Manchester United for season-long loan at Borussia Dortmund


Manchester United starlet Adnan Januzaj has completed his move to Borussia Dortmund on loan.
The 20-year-old has moved to the Bundesliga side despite interest from Tottenham, Everton, Marseille and Valencia.
Januzaj looked as though he would spend the season at Old Trafford having been picked to start ahead of Ashley Young so far after scoring against Aston Villa. 
The Belgian international confirmed the move on Twitter, as he posted a photo of himself holding up the no.9 shirt with the caption: “Pleased to sign for Dortmund! Looking forward to the new season.”
He also told the club’s website: “Borussia Dortmund are a great club, the fans here are supposed to be really incredible. I want to achieve great things with the team.”
The Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said: “Adnan is a highly gifted and technically gifted player who completes our attacking department.”

As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...
