Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney was delighted for two-goal Adnan Januzaj in victory at Sunderland. Januzaj, who has yet to decide his international future and is also out of contract at Old Trafford in the summer, was the difference - a power drive and a breathtaking volleyed second clinching the points.
Rooney said: "He's a great prospect. He takes the ball, he runs at players and he's got great ability. It's great the manager has thrown him into the side, especially with what has happened in the last few games.
"There was big pressure on us, but the manager has trusted him and he has repaid that.
"He's very confident, that's great to see. A lot of the young players who come through are a little bit timid and shy, but he looks comfortable and he's confident in his own ability, which you need to be.
"It was a brave move to play him in the circumstances and we're delighted it's paid off.
"There is a lot of pressure, but he seems to thrive on it. We know the ability he has got, but you never know how they are going to react when they are thrown into games.
"We need to help the younger players and if we do that, they'll be moments where they come in and win us the game, as has happened here. The experienced lads need to help them emerge into a team."
