Degryse declares Man Utd reject Januzaj 'proved he deserved his place against England'

Former Belgium attacker Marc Degryse was impressed by Adnan Januzaj for their World Cup win over England yesterday.

The Real Sociedad winger scored the only goal of the 1-0 win.

Degryse said of former Manchester United midfielder Januzaj: "Immediately after the break we saw a class flash from Januzaj, who showed that he deserves his selection.

"It was a typical Januzaj action: threatening and then looking for the far post. For example, Januzaj has proven that he can decide a game from scratch.

"It's good for the rest of the tournament, that you know you have such a type on the bench if you need him at the end of a match."
