Januzaj only made nine Premier League starts under Van Gaal. Loan spells at Borussia Dortmund and Moyes' Sunderland failed to revitalise his career.

His good form, trickiness and eye for the spectacular were rewarded with a bumper five-year deal but things quickly began to change.

Loan spells at Borussia Dortmund and Sunderland did little to boost his reputation at the club, and he eventually was sold to Real Sociedad by then United manager Jose Mourinho in 2017.
