i think he thinks that that is where he should be playing because in so many games i have seen him leave his winger position, doesn't matter left or right to the middle

Januzaj and Zaha impress Round

Adnan Januzaj could play in any of the front four attacking positions according to Manchester United assistant boss Steve Round, who is impressed by the teenager's adaptability in a new position - the classic no.10 role.

The 18-year-old's emergence this season has been a highlight of the 2013/14 campaign so far, but having initially broken into the team on the left wing - with the ability to switch flanks during the game - he proved just as impactful in a more central role behind the main striker against Norwich.

United's coaching staff are still developing his burgeoning talents and deciphering his best position. However, there is no rush, according to Round.

"Adnan has gone from strength to strength," said Round after the game. "We see him as a no.7, 10 or 11. He can play any of those three. And if you ask our Reserves coach [Warren Joyce], who had him last season, he'd say he felt his best position was no.9. He played there for the Reserves. So any of the top four positions he is capable of playing in.

"For a young player like Adnan, we're trying to give him as much experience as we possibly can and develop him in numerous different positions and give him different ideas and thoughts about the way he should be playing."

Wilfried Zaha was making only his second competitive appearance for United this season but Round was impressed with how he handled playing at Old Trafford.

"I was really pleased for Wilf to get a start and play so well," he added. "He got a bit tired at the end so we replaced him. But this will have done his confidence the world of good and he's gone out there and experienced what it's like to win at Old Trafford."

Anders salutes Adnan

Anders Lindegaard admitted there were more eye-catching displays than his own return to action with Manchester United - especially the performance of Adnan Januzaj.

The Danish goalkeeper's start in the Capital One Cup victory over Norwich City was his first competitive appearance under David Moyes, and although he kept a clean sheet in the 4-0 victory, he accepts it was a comfortable accomplishment.

"Norwich didn't have too many attempts on target so I wasn't very busy," reflected Lindegaard. "I think we controlled the match from the first whistle to the final whistle. We played a good game and we're pleased we're through to the next round.

"I don't feel any different about this competition to how I feel about the Premier League or the Champions League. The approach is the same. It's the United way to try to win all the competitions we participate in and every game we play in."

Anders felt it was "an important display" for the recalled players who have watched most of the fixtures so far this season from the sidelines - himself included. But it was the latest outing for Adnan Januzaj, his fourth in United's last five games, that really captured the keeper's attention.

"I think it's lovely to see how great Adnan is doing," Lindegaard told MUTV. "He gives hope to the whole United spirit, a young lad coming through from the academy into the first team. He's doing absolutely fantastic. You see what an impact he's had, not just tonight but on other nights as well.

"Adnan is cheeky both on the pitch and off the pitch. He seems very balanced in his personality and that's great to see from an 18 year-old kid. He plays like he's played 200 Premier League games already. I'm just very impressed with him."

maybe young's best position is also the no.10 role

ACtually kinda right. His last season at AV, he actually played the no 10 role. LOL

#freeyoung!

#fireyoung hahahahaahahahahah kinda be one of the highest paid palyer in manutd(120k per week)...but injured a lot and not performing..only his first season here lol

if we get baines, he can play the left wing role. of course kinda waste since he's a left back. He's well known for his set-piece taking(free kicks, corner kicks). Crosses, and he's got a really powerful left foot to score goals as well.

#freeyoung #fireyoung same thing, no?
#sellyoung #thenmaybecanaffordthereturnofcr7

agreed on the slump n high wages on young...but if moyes can squeeze him to get back to his 1st season form...it wud be fantastic...i wud say anyone from our squad will be in starting lineup in any other team in BPL...his injury n form doesnt help his confidence...but for me...from our winger dept...young is different type of winger compared to other senior winger...toni rely on speed n strong stance...nani pulse dribbling beat oppo...young on his best form...he carried the ball n take on oppo...something that i think we lack when all the forward hav make run to oppo defen line...if u look at stoke game where they defend deep...around the 80 minutes...chica rvp roon kags...all on defen bay...adnan do the dribbling on the right to send crosses...carrick sit in the middle try to pull string n open play...but got nowhere cos nobody try to bring the ball in n take on oppo in small space...the forward were static waiting for carrick to pull the string...and no to avail...it force roon n rvp to drop deep to make something...if young is in his best form...he can take on defender at ease...if he can apply it at times in the middle...it wud be great...it a dimension that we lacks in the middle...someone to take on oppo in the middle...ala cesc,modric,ramsey,wilshere,ozil...atm...carrick n afro more to simple passer n protect back 4 n winning ball...clev shud be the one explore it...ando can do it if he is back to his best...if moyesy can revive young...he can be similar to osman n pienaar...zaha hav a lil bit of young trait in dribbling...

all in all...i hope moyes squeeze the team potential to its max before let go some player...revive the player to their best...n the player need to step up as well...tho i think some quality can be add if available...

juz my 2 cent in the longkang...

from the way it looked but i hope d gaffer will do something to keep him... i know am being selfish but i wanna see hernandez, kagawa & fabio stay. doesn't matter if we dont sign any player as long as we can keep these. 

same boat...we r not n never a selling club...not some pasar malam...

it's just sad to see great lads (with great attitude & what it takes to be AT LEAST a squad member) leavin d club...
