Man Utd defender Jones: Januzaj will do great things for club

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has praised young teammate Adnan Januzaj over his breakthrough this season.

Jones, himself propelled into the big league as a raw teenager at Blackburn, is expecting big things from the 18-year-old.

"It's massive pressure coming into the Premier League at such a young age," said the England man.

"It's a testament to him he has done such a great job.

"He's sharp, he's got nimble feet and he will do great things for this club. He threaded a brilliant ball through for our goal.

"Adnan is only a quiet lad. He just goes about his business.

"But if he keeps producing performances like that he will be a real star."
