MU tercoret dari perburuan gelar Premier League

Prrestasi Manchester United musim ini agak terpuruk. Dengan mengalami kekalahan pada awal musim dan sederet prestasi kurang mentereng terjadi sejak sir alex fergie pensiun musim lalu. Pelatih anyar Moyes belum bisa meramu tim dengan baik, sehingga prestasi MU sedikit tersendat pada musim kompetisi tahun ini.
Beberapa pengamat menilai MU mengalami masa transisi dan diprediksi keluar dari kandidat juara IPL.

Terlebih rumor tidak sedap dengan ketidakharmonisan antara Moyes dan Robin van Persie, menambah panas isu seputar MU.
Namun tidak demikian dengan rival sekota mereka Manchaster City, punggawa City, Yaya Toure menyatakan jangan buru-buru mencoret MU dari daftar rival untuk perebutan tahta EPL. Toure memprediksikan MU akan bangkit dan masih layak sebagai calon juara Premier League. Terlalu terburu-buru jika tim sekelas MU pada awal kompetisi dianggap sudah habis dan tidak berpeluang bersaing di papan atas EPL.

Adnan Januzaj signs new five-year contract with Manchester United

Adnan Januzaj has signed a new five-year contract with Manchester United which ties to him to the club until June 2018, the Premier League champions have announced.

The Belgium-born winger made his competitive first-team debut against Wigan in the Community Shield but rose to prominence after his two goals against Sunderland on his full debut.

That performance has led to much speculation about which nation he would represent at international level, with England keen on joining the list of countries he is available to play for.

United boss David Moyes told the club's official website: "I'm delighted that Adnan has committed his future to United

"He is an outstanding talent and has impressed me consistently since I came to United in July.

"His balance, poise and ability to beat players is truly exceptional for a boy of his age. It's great that he recognises that this club, with its tradition for developing young players and giving them a chance on the biggest stage, is the best place for him to be."

It was only a matter of time before he made his first outing under Sir Alex's successor, David Moyes, and, sure enough, the new manager included the teenager on his first pre-season tour. His impressive form in a handful of friendlies yielded his first-ever senior goal, a header in the win against Kitchee FC in Hong Kong. Januzaj went on to make his official - or competitive - United debut as a substitute during the 2-0 triumph over Wigan Athletic in the Community Shield at Wembley on 11 August.

Further landmarks were to follow in quick succession, continuing with his Barclays Premier League debut against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on 14 September. Again he showed flashes of his talent after coming off the bench but the Belgian-born youngster would really make his mark when he started a top-flight fixture for the first time on 19 October, away to Sunderland. There, he scored two stunning goals to overturn the opponents' lead and claim all three points for David Moyes' side. Unsurprisingly, he was the unanimous choice as man of the match on ManUtd.com and Twitter.

With the domestic programme paused for the October international break, Januzaj became a hot topic in the media, with one newspaper describing him as 'the most wanted teenager in Europe.' Several days later, any clubs looking to prise him away from Old Trafford at the end of his current contract had their hopes dramatically dashed - he committed himself to the Reds with a new five-year deal and declared, "It’s a great thrill. Since arriving here I have always felt like this was the right club for me."
