Manchester United manager David Moyes has revealed that England are among the countries keen for Adnan Januzaj to pledge his international future to them.

Moyes is convinced that Januzaj has the potential to become a great player and insists there is no chance of the youngster getting carried away by his first taste of success. "I remember giving Wayne his debut, and Ross Barkley, and Adnan is certainly that quality. He is a top, top player," Moyes told Sky Sports. "My plan was to play him three or four weeks ago but I never quite got the opportunity and for different reasons I didn't pick him, and I thought today was the right time. "He has been so good, it was hard to stop him. "He is going to be a special talent. He has got goals, he has got ability on the ball, but we will keep his feet on the ground here." Januzaj will be out of contract at the end of the season and his breakthrough performance could lead to increased attention from other clubs, but Moyes does not see why he would be interested in leaving. "I am not too worried about that. I think every young boy wants to play at Manchester United, I have always thought that."
