What happened to Adnan Januzaj?

In October 2013, Adnan Januzaj made a remarkable debut for Manchester United, scoring twice against Sunderland. Initially seen as a prodigious talent, his career gradually lost momentum. Starting his football journey at FC Brussels and Anderlecht, he joined Manchester United's youth team in 2011. Despite early comparisons to legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Januzaj struggled to secure a regular place under various managers. After a series of loan spells and a lack of consistent performance, he eventually signed with Real Sociedad in 2017. Although he has shown flashes of brilliance, Januzaj has not fully lived up to his early potential. Now 26, he continues to play in La Liga and remains hopeful for a return to top-tier football.
