David Moyes compares Adnan Januzaj to a young Wayne Rooney

David Moyes thinks very highly of Adnan Januzaj.

The former Manchester United manager, who worked with Januzaj last season during his ill-fated spell at Old Trafford - and oversaw the early part of Rooney's development while at Everton - says the Belgian teenager has all of the same talents that Rooney had when he was a 19-year-old.

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

"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.

"When we went on tour last year he was one of the pluses. He did very well. There was a lot said about him. We came back and within a month we could not believe the change in him -- he could go past people inside, outside, to the left, to the right."

Despite the criticism that Rooney comes under nowadays, there is no denying that this is very high praise for Januzaj.
