Man Utd winger Januzaj excited being part of first World Cup

Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj is excited to be making his World Cup debut with Belgium.

When asked for his earliest recollections of the tournament, the 19-year-old Belgian international gave an answer that would make most Reds supporters feel their age.

"I think it was in 2006, it was France against Italy when Zidane did the Panenka," Adnan explained. "That was, I think, the first World Cup that I watched."

Januzaj also discusses which nations are capable of winning this summer's World Cup and, rather than pin-pointing a handful of favourites, the Reds prodigy was keen to explain that anything could happen in South America.

"Any country can win it because it is the World Cup. You have to give everything. I have always said, if you give everything that you have got on the pitch then you might have a chance to go through and you just never know at the World Cup."
