5 current footballers who are eligible to represent Kosovo

Kosovo was officially recognised by FIFA in May

5) Adnan Januzaj

Januzaj was left out of Belgium’s Euro 2016 squad.

David Moyes' reign at Manchester United was short lived leaving the club in a troubled state. They had fallen well short of expectations, failing to qualify for the Champions League and nothing remarkable to show for apart from the FA Community Shield.

But there was a bright spark amidst all the talk of the results and the team's performances. A teenager who seemed to be of United quality had the fans expecting it was the rise of another left footed winger in Manchester. Adnan Januzaj blitzed through defences creating chances and reminded the United supporters of a certain Ryan Giggs and was allocated the number 11 shirt by Louis van Gaal in his first season in charge.

It is safe to say he couldn't recreate his performances under the Dutchman failing to make the most of the opportunities he got though he didn't get many. He was loaned out to Borussia Dortmund next season and that spell couldn't bring the best out of him.

The Belgian winger isn't part of the Belgium Euro 2016 squad which is a fair reflection of his past season. It will be interesting to see what his decision will be on his international future after being left out and the 21-year-old will be hoping he can flourish under Jose Mourinho and reach heights that the United fans had once hoped he would.
