Hull boss Bruce: Man Utd's Januzaj 'the outstanding player in Europe'

Manchester United youngster Adnan Januzaj is the most promising player in Europe at the moment according to Steve Bruce.

The Hull City manager spoke highly of the 18-year old Belgian midfielder following his performance in United's 3-1 win over the Tigers at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.

Debutant James Wilson scored a brace for the Red Devils, who have had a fairly disappointing season, but it was the display of Januzaj which had ex-United star Bruce gushing with superlatives.

"It can't be dark times when you have got someone like Januzaj. He's only 18 and looks like a real player, and obviously the other kid has scored as well," he told Sky Sports.

"They are always going to produce young players, it's in the DNA here - they always want to and they always will do.

"In Januzaj, for me, they have got the outstanding player in Europe at the moment - at 18 he looks one hell of a player."
