Now however, a big name has had his say, and with a pedigree like his, Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has seemingly hit the nail on it’s head.

Borussia Dortmund do not reportedly have an option to buy on current Manchester United loanee Adnan Januzaj, but they do have first refusal should the Red Devils decide to sell the young Belgian.

Wayne Rooney has admitted his performances in the opening games have been below par, but says he is confident the goals will come soon.

And the United boss was full of praise for the 20-year-old after the final whistle.

Daley Blind praises Manchester United’s work ethic throughout the match in their 1-0 victory over Aston Villa in their Premier League clash.

They will gain approval for van Gaal who, in turn, will be satisfied the man he brought in from the cold – Adnan Januzaj – bagged the deflected goal at Villa Park. We had too many unnecessary losses of possession as a team and Adnan Januzaj had unnecessary ball...

“We’re absolutely delighted to be back in the competition”. The first matches of the two-legged ties will be on August 18 and 19, with the return legs on August 25 and 26, and the ten winners advance directly to the Champions League group stage.

United are at home in the first leg, which will be held on August 17/18, with the away tie taking place the following week. “Hopefully we’ll win some trophies”.

“I would like to thank [sporting director] Lee Congerton and the head coach [Advocaat] for making this move possible, and I can’t wait to start playing for the Sunderland supporters”.
