ADNAN JANUZAJ

Of all young talents currently in the premier league, I have to say in all fairness, that United's Adnan Januzaj has appeared to be the most promising. You'd have to watch his performances in the team's preseason tour to understand where I'm basing my argument from. In the past two matches he's displayed skills hard to liken to those of an 18yr old. Accurate short and long passing, vision and an eye for goal though he's not found the back of the net yet having come inches close on a couple of occasions.

Like David Beckham, he's able to play in several positions; both flanks and as an attacking midfield.

He plays commendably well in all these positions and it becomes hard to select his main position.

As Scholes, he's shown the ability to make long passes finding players in “hard to reach areas”.

Well Adnan won the reserves player of the year last year and has already attracted vultures, waiting to pounce and take him away from the premier league. One of these vultures appears to be Barcelona. A new contract is being discussed though, to fend off any vultures lining up for him.

With the united academy having already seen the likes of Welbeck and Cleverly cement places in the first team, they would surely love to have the likes of Adnan and Jesse Lingard follow in their footsteps , or even better them! They'd love to beat the Barca academy, who wouldn't?!

Adnan is surely a player to look out for in coming years. Others are touting him as the new Messi, I as the new Beckham or Scholes. But only time will tell. He can end up being way better.

 

Maybe next time we can have a look at all the players coming up from various academies in the premier league.
