Marc Wilmots: "Adnan Januzaj is a top talent"

Belgium head coach Marc Wilmots waxes lyrical about Adnan Januzaj following his inclusion in the squad for this summer's World Cup.

Belgium manager Marc Wilmots has described Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj as "a top talent".

Wilmots sprung something of a surprise this afternoon when he included the uncapped 19-year-old in his squad for this summer's World Cup.

Although he is unsure as to how much of an impact the youngster will have in Brazil, Wilmots has insisted that he has no doubts over his ability.

"I've seen him against Hull. He has qualities. He has the potential [and he] can play on the right and in a central role. Januzaj is a top talent. I'm not sure he will play in Brazil. He's there to gain experience," the head coach told reporters.

Januzaj is one of 13 Premier League-based players to have been included in Belgium's 24-man selection.
