Adnan Januzaj was named Manchester United player of the month for October, beating off competition from Wayne Rooney and David De Gea.
The youngster has become a key component to this United side and he showed this in his performances against Sunderland where his brace saved United from another league defeat and the 4-0 victory over Norwich where he ran the show in a central role in particular.
The award comes on the day when United great Gary Pallister insisted that the spotlight be taken off the youngster and he be allowed to develop at his own rate.
Januzaj was the clear favourite picking up a whopping 42 per cent of the vote ahead of Rooney’s 34% and David De Geas 24% and was understandably pleased with this achievement:
“It’s good to be recognised for your performances on the pitch but I realise that I have to work hard and keep progressing as a player. I will try to contribute to the team whenever I play and hopefully play my part in a successful season.”
Here are the 18 year old’s best bits from the month of October:

Tha boy juz nid 2 b composed n the rest juz as they say, …. Remember ‘ow Ronnie was wen he was signed. All tha best 2 Januzaj n may he follow the footsteps o’ Ronnie bt nat 2 Madrid.
The boy deserve it and Moyes bring back nick powell this boy is terrefic. With long shoot goal this boy true is our paul scholes. Bring him back we need him in midfield.
Moyes try to make a bid for cabaye also i heard that it will be his last season with newcastle. Try to make a bid or exchange anderson or A.young to get cabaye in united. We need a player like him in our midfield and can be captain also.
He dzv it. May his dayz b lng at oldtrafford n may he nva folow d steps of berkam n ronald 2 madrid bt end his carrier at old united amen
The boy is growing pretty fast,, Goodluck Adnan
Januzaj was rest in champion league match now he will be fresh to create trouble for arsenal match.
Moyes buy cabaye otherwise liverpool will get him in january transfer.
Kagawa was too good in champion league match in his real position in central. Moyes played januzaj instead of kagawa in left winger. Rooney also can played there but please kagawa in central is better rather than he played in left.
Moyes onces againt bring back n.powell we need him. He is promising player just like scholes he score goal from long range. And in united now i see often the ball come in the central outside the box nobody shoot.
Moyes don’t be dissapointed for champion league even sir alex does that if there any important match on sunday. In champion league we must first if all big club like barcelona,real madrid are first in their group stage to avoid them in knock out stage.
Whereas the arsenal match we must win even if we win 1-0 i am happy.
