Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj knows Sunderland fans expect a lot from him.

He seems to have been around a long time but is keen to stress he is still only at the start of his career and is convinced the best is yet to come.

Januzaj said: “I've played a lot of games as a pro. That's why people think I'm older than I actually am. "Some estimate me to be 25 or 26 because I started very early. People forget that I'm only 21.

“I have received a lot of criticism. People talk about things they know nothing about. I've always been mentally strong.

“The criticism will not hurt me. It is true that the fans might criticise me more than any other player at Sunderland.

“That's because they know I'm a player who can make the difference at any time. But the team is not just me. Therefore, we must keep working."
