Manchester United 2-1 Sunderland: 5 players to be credited for United's victory

1. Adnan Januzaj

Adnan Januzaj

The flavour of the moment for all Manchester United fans.

He may not be the messiah to rescue the side from their disastrous start, but he is certainly showing the glimpses of skill that could motivate this United team to perform better and galvanize the side.

The signs have been there since the beginning of pre-season and Januzaj with every game seems to be convincing the United faithful and the manager of his huge promise as a winger.

He is managing to keep Shinji Kagawa out of the side with his performances and the Japanese playmaker must be wondering what he must do to regain his place in the side.

He is number one here, because he scored the two goals, and the second one was quite a sumptuous strike. He also drew quite a few fouls in advanced areas of the pitch for United.

Contract negotiations are on, and Ed Woodward would do well to sign this youngster down to a long-term contract at Old Trafford.

Shots on target – 3/6

Goals – 2

Pass completion rate – 86%
