Man Utd winger Januzaj: No hesistation taking No11 shirt

Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj is proud to be wearing the No11 shirt this season.

Januzaj insists it was an honour to inherit the iconic No11 shirt from Ryan Giggs.

"I was really happy to get the number of such a legend and it was a really big deal for me," Adnan told ManUtd.com. "I went to the office and they asked me if I wanted the shirt. I wasn't going to say no! Straight away I said 'of course' and I didn't have to think about it. It was a 'yes' straight away.

"It feels different," the 19-year-old continued. "Things have changed because it is a big responsibility to wear the no.11 shirt and having the number of a legend is really big. Ryan has helped me a lot and is like a godfather. He has told me to work hard on the training pitch and the rest is more personal. We talk about football a lot."
