Bolton boss Lennon hails performance of Man Utd fullback Janko

Manchester United fullback Saidy Janko impressed for Bolton Wanderers in victory over Fulham.

Janko struck in the 3-1 win.

"You would like to think (Janko) was happy but you never know with him because he is so level-headed," said Trotters boss Neil Lennon.

"But he assists one and scores a miraculous goal really. Saidy has looked forward to this experience though he was a bit tentative when he first came in. You could see that in the first 20 minutes.

"But once he got up and running he was fine. The assist for the goal gave him a huge lift and with young players it is all about confidence.

"In the second half he put the turbos on and really gave Fulham a lot of problems. He has only had one or two sessions with us but he played last week for United's under-21s so in terms of match-fitness and conditioning he was up to speed.

"He tired towards the end, which was understandable, but he can be very satisfied with his debut."
