Adnan Januzaj Completes Loan Move to Borussia Dortmund

Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj has confirmed his loan move to Borussia Dortmund for the season following a summer of rumours surrounding his future. Januzaj shared a picture of himself holding up the club's shirt:
Earlier in the day, Sky Sports reported that Dortmund were in "advanced talks" to sign Januzaj on loan. Bleacher Report's Sam Pilger highlighted the fact that Januzaj's temporary move will see another attacking player exit Old Trafford, with only Memphis Depay signed to fill the gap left by the likes of Robin van Persie, Radamel Falcao and Co. The eventual Dortmund move came after Januzaj was linked to multiple clubs, including West Ham, Juventus and Everton, via talkSPORT. Januzaj previously sent out a cryptic tweet that seemed to dismiss rumours linking him with a move to Sunderland. Louise Taylor of the Guardian had suggested that Januzaj could head to the Stadium of Light as a result of United's (ultimately unsuccessful) pursuit of Pedro. The Spain international joined Chelsea instead. Januzaj recently scored United's winner in a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa but failed to impress in the 0-0 draw with Newcastle and missed United's loss at Swansea due to injury. A loan move could offer him a more stable opportunity to prove he still has the talent to make it in the Premier League, potentially freeing up a squad space for United to bring in a new face before the window shuts, with the club linked to Monaco striker Anthony Martial, according to BBC Sport.
