Adnan Januzaj has told Sunderland fans he's ready to prove his value.

The on-loan Manchester United winger started and scored for Sunderland Under-23s in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week.

He said: “There are lots of games over Christmas and every player is needed so we will all get a lot of playing time, and that's very important for me. We have some big games coming up but they are games we can take points from.

“My job is to score goals and create them so hopefully a lot of that.

“Leicester City won the league last year but at home it's a game we should be aiming to win. Just because they were successful last year doesn't mean we have to put ourselves down, and in any game anything can happen.

“We will head into the weekend confident and hopefully we can take three points."
