Van Gaal recalled Januzaj from his loan at Borussia Dortmund last week after the club became annoyed at the forward’s lack of game time in Germany.

Januzaj is understood to have stayed in Manchester over the Christmas period and was in the directors’ box for United’s home game against Chelsea on December 28.

Manchester United’s winger Adnan Januzaj has joined Borussia Dortmund on loan for the rest of the season.

Aston Villa 0 Man United 1: Adnan Januzaj lasted less than an hour in his first start for six months, but it was long enough to deliver Manchester United their second win of the new season.
