The young Belgium international scored the decisive first-half goal that saw off Aston Villa 1-0 on Friday, taking the Red Devils to six points from a possible six at the start of the Premier League season.
Januzaj started alongside Memphis, a summer signing from PSV, and Redknapp hopes to see a great deal more of the 20-year-old this term.
"The good news for Manchester United now is that Januzaj has come back into the equation," he said on Sky Sports. "He looked like a young man that could go out on loan, with talk of Sunderland maybe taking him.
"I think they have signed Memphis Depay for £31 million but they already had somebody in their ranks that is more talented. [Januzaj] is a special player.
"I remember the first time I watched him for United and I think about the goal he scored against Sunderland – he can do special things with a football.
"He wasn't magnificent [against Villa] by any stretch of the imagination but the arrogance he can afford to play with will come with confidence.
"He drifts past people and has a unique talent like that. He's the special player in this team, I think. He can turn people inside out."
