Adnan Januzaj reveals three idols

Adnan Januzaj admits that he used to watch a lot of Zinedine Zidane, Juan Roman Riquelme and Kaka in action when he was younger.

Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj has revealed that he admired three different footballers during his youth.

The 19-year-old has broken through at Old Trafford this season, scoring three goals during his 27 appearances in all competitions.

When asked by the club's official website who he has modelled his game on, the youngster replied: "As a kid I always watched the big players and big names and I loved watching Zinedine Zidane, Juan Roman Riquelme and Kaka. It's difficult singling out one player but I looked at those three in particular and liked the way they played.

"Zidane, Riquelme and Kaka are all number 10s and that's the type of player I admire most. I played in the number 10 role against Norwich City in the Capital One Cup game earlier this season and really enjoyed it, but I can also play on the wing and I'm used to playing there."

Januzaj joined United as a trainee back in 2011.
