Club career
Janko joined Manchester United from FC Zürich on summer transfer deadline day in 2013.[4] He was one of only two signings made by David Moyes during the Summer transfer window of 2013. In his first season, he was voted the Reserve Player of the Year.[5] On 26 August 2014, he made his first team debut in a League Cup match against Milton Keynes Dons, playing the first half before being substituted for fellow débutant Andreas Pereira. United lost 4–0.[6]
On 2 February 2015, transfer deadline day, Janko joined Championship club Bolton Wanderers on loan for the rest of the season, with Andy Kellett going in the opposite direction for the same period.[7] He made his debut for the club on 10 February, starting in a 3–1 league win over Fulham at the Macron Stadium. He crossed to assist Eiður Guðjohnsen's equaliser before half time, and in the 80th minute scored from 25 yards out.[8]
