David Moyes compares Adnan Januzaj to Wayne Rooney

By , Features Editor
David Moyes says that Manchester United youngster Adnan Januzaj reminds him of a teenage Wayne Rooney.

Former Manchester United manager David Moyes has compared Adnan Januzaj to Wayne Rooney.

Moyes gave Januzaj his first chance in senior football last season, just as he did with Rooney when in charge of Everton back in 2002.

Having worked with both of the United duo, Moyes has insisted that there are similarities between the 19-year-old Belgian and a teenage Rooney.

"Adnan Januzaj is, in my managerial time, the best young talent up there with Wayne Rooney," Moyes told the Daily Telegraph. "You can see what he can become. When we had Wayne at Everton you could see the potential.

"Adnan Januzaj has got all that at the same age as Wayne. He's one of the best young talents in Europe and he will go on to become one of the best players."

Januzaj is yet to start for United this season under the management of Louis van Gaal.
