The Belgian winger was recently recalled from a loan spell with Dortmund and could now come into contention for an appearance with Louis van Gaal's first team

Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj produced an impressive performance for the club's U21 side as he scored two goals and grabbed an assist in a 4-0 win over Southampton.

The Belgium international only recently arrived back in Manchester after an unsuccessful loan spell with Bundesliga side Dortmund, where he struggled to make an impact on Thomas Tuchel's first team and made just 12 appearances.

But the 20-year-old has returned to match action in England in great style, as he produced an excellent display for Warren Joyce's United U21 side before he was replaced after 81 minutes.

Januzaj opened the scoring against the Saints in the Under-21 Premier League clash as he received a pass from Will Keane before cutting inside on his left foot and slotting an effort into the corner of the net.

The United winger was involved in the second as he set Guillermo Varela away - the young Uruguayan full-back crossing over for Will Keane who made no mistake with the header to make it 2-0.

Saints goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga then denied another first-team fringe player a stunning goal as he saved well from Andreas Pereira although it would soon be three as Keane tucked home a penalty won by the impressive Januzaj.

The Belgian then added his second, and United's fourth, of the night as he smashed a left-footed effort into the net after 79 minutes to complete what had been a productive workout for the 20-year-old that will have surely not gone unnoticed by Louis van Gaal.
