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.”

Although Frankfurt have twice...

Tottenham’s Dele Alli eyes Premier League debut at Manchester United

It was quite the opening statement. Dele Alli, 24 minutes into his first start in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, suckered in Luka Modric of Real Madrid, nutmegged him and accelerated away. The 70,000 sell-out crowd at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena roared at the 19-year-old’s sheer impudence. "We had a laugh about it in the tunnel afterwards; he was very good about it,” Alli said. "He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it."

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...
