Quinton Fortune praises Januzaj

Adnan Januzaj
Former Manchester United midfielder Quinton Fortune has likened Adnan Januzaj to a young Cristiano Ronaldo following the winger’s impressive start to his first-team career at Old Trafford.
Januzaj scored twice on his full Premier League debut against Sunderland and has featured on eight occasions in total for United this season.

According to Skysports, 18-year-old has made a positive impression on the former South African international who has witnessed the starlet’s development first-hand after his spell with United’s reserves while completing his coaching badges.

“Everyone around the club knew that he was special,” Fortune said. “The self-belief and confidence set him apart from the other young players I saw at United a couple of years ago and even though he is playing at a higher level now, he has the same mentality.


“He has so much belief and confidence in his own ability and that’s hard to see in young players these days. He reminds me of Ronaldo when he arrived.

“He was making so much progress and when he went to train with the first team, some of those lads were talking about him.

“He believes in himself and that takes you far in this game. He has great talent and he is a level-headed guy.
“He has so much belief and confidence in his own ability and that’s hard to see in young players these days. He reminds me of Ronaldo when he arrived.”

“He is doing incredibly well, he is already one of the key players in the team and hopefully that will continue.”
