Ryan Giggs backs Manchester United duo Wayne Rooney and Adnan Januzaj to shine at the World Cup

By -


Ryan Giggs has backed Wayne Rooney and Adnan Januzaj to take the World Cup by storm. Rooney will miss a third successive game for Manchester United on Sunday due to a groin problem, although Giggs is sure the England forward will be fit enough to go to the World Cup. But while Rooney is a household name opposition teams will be well aware of, Januzaj is something of an unknown threat. Double trouble: Ryan Giggs says Adnan Januzaj (left) and Wayne Rooney will shine in Brazil   The 19-year-old may have had a good season with United, but he is yet to earn an international cap. The midfielder only pledged his allegiance to Belgium - the country of his birth - last month. David Moyes used Januzaj sparingly towards the end of his tenure as United boss as he feared the teenager would break down due to exhaustion. But Giggs has no qualms about Januzaj heading to Brazil with his new international team-mates this summer. 'Adnan is the kind of player who could light up a World Cup, whether that is starting games or off the bench,' said the United interim player-manager, who started Januzaj in the 3-1 win over Hull on Tuesday.

After 38 games of a long, hard season, the best side always wins the title and Manchester City thoroughly deserve their success. Manuel Pellegrini has done a fantastic job in his first season in English football and he and City should be congratulated. After the match I was talking to Graeme Souness and we agreed that if we were to have our careers again in the present day then we, and any current young player, would want to join City. That is the club where you want to be. Man United have dominated English football for so long and though City might not have the history, they have the future.

Brendan Rodgers has outlined his vision to take Liverpool forward and is targeting up to five quality additions to bolster his squad. Though Rodgers has vowed to fight until the final whistle on Sunday, he has conceded Liverpool’s hopes of winning their first title since 1990 have almost been extinguished after only taking one point from their last two games against Chelsea and Crystal Palace. But wherever Liverpool finish this campaign, Rodgers is aware that improvements need to be made to the squad during the summer and believes the fact they can guarantee Champions League football will give them a considerable lure. Top target: Adam Lallana (right) is wanted by Liverpool this summer Liverpool did not sign anyone in January but their scouts have identified a number of targets, including Southampton’s Adam Lallana and Cardiff defender Steven Caulker, as having the potential to improve the squad and take the club forward. ‘The work has been on-going for a little while now, especially s
