Cleverley delighted for Man Utd youngster Januzaj after two-goal performance

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley was delighted for two-goal Adnan Januzaj after victory over Sunderland.

It marked the teen's full Premier League debut.

Cleverley told MUTV: "The first one, I was on the left so I couldn't see how far into the corner it was. It was a great finish with his wrong foot. And then the second one, well... everyone knows he's got it. He's been doing it all pre-season in training, but to do it on the big stage, I'm really pleased for him.

"He's got a wand of a left foot for shooting and crossing. It didn't surprise me that it went in but I was just buzzing to see it go in because it was such an important game for us to win and he's come up with the goods.

"With the players we've got in this squad, they've won a lot more titles than the young players so I don't think anybody will get too ahead of themselves, including Adnan. He's got a good attitude on him, he wants to get better and we've all got the best examples in front of us to do that. He'll get a lot of publicity but I think he can handle it."
