Earlier in the season Moyes compared Januzaj to Wayne Rooney.

Now in an interview with FourFourTwo magazine he has drawn parallels with one of football’s all-time greats Johan Cruyff.

He said: “Some youngsters get overawed. Not Adnan.

“I realised that when he came to train with the first team soon after I joined.

“I decided to take him on tour with the first team within minutes of watching him.

“He wasn’t timid, but hungry to succeed. He was one of the tour’s bright spots.

“He possesses a level of self-assured arrogance, which is a positive as he’s not too arrogant.

“On the contrary, he’s a bright lad who is mature for his age.
“He’s a wonderfully gifted player with great balance and the ability to go past people.

“When I see his poise on the ball, he has characteristics of Johan Cruyff.
