Moyes claims Januzaj will be one of the world’s best players

Manchester United boss David Moyes claims Adnan Januzaj will become one of the world's best players after he again starred in their 2-0 win over Swansea at Old Trafford.

Second-half goals from Antonio Valencia and Danny Welbeck ensured the Red Devils did not have to deal with the prospect of four successive defeats for the first time since 1961.

But it was the 18-year-old Januzaj, who again caught the eye, particularly after he was switched from a central position behind Danny Welbeck, with Shinji Kagawa who was operating on the left wing.

"He played so well against Sunderland in mid-week behind the striker, we felt it might just create some more opportunities, maybe cause them a few more problems. It didn’t work well as we wanted in the first half," the United boss said,

"With Adnan coming out wide left at times he was very difficult for them to cope with. He’s some player, the boy’s going to be one of the best in the world I have no doubt about that.

"We’ll keep bringing him along, we’re having to play him a bit more than we would like but what I would say is he’s earning his place in the team because of how well he’s playing.

"Sometimes when you’re young, and I remember Wayne [Rooney] at the same age at Everton people kept saying to me I was leaving him out, but these young boys want to play all the time, they don’t know anything about tiredness or how many games they’ve played."
