Rooney eager to help Man Utd teammate Januzaj handle hype

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney sys he's doing all he can to help Adnan Januzaj handle his new found fame. The England international, now aged 27, is one of the senior figures in the United squad and is happy to lend his advice to any of United's other younger players, but he has particular words of wisdom for the Belgian-born youngster.

"You can help, of course you can, from experience you can tell them what to expect," Rooney told MUTV. "Maybe now he might be expecting to play every game, which is not going to happen, but I think he'll understand that and understand the way he has to come into the team.

"I'm sure he'll do that and then obviously he has to help himself by performing so it's a big challenge for him. But we see him every day, he's got the talent so hopefully he can continue that form for the rest of the season."
