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.”
