Manchester United first-team coach Phil Neville has said that they are right to give Adnan Januzaj breaks from the side.

The teenage winger has broken into the reigning English champions' first team this season, scoring three goals in 20 appearances.

The former United defender told the club's official website: "It's still early doors for him, though, and I think we've treated him right. We've played him in games and we've also rested him in others and given him a bit of a breather.

"We have to make sure that in two or three years he's still improving and reaching the levels we hope he can reach. That's our job as coaches.

"You have to have the courage, the belief, the confidence, the determination to play for Manchester United, those characteristics are key to a player's success here and Adnan is no different."

Januzaj was rested in the team's defeat to Olympiacos in the Champions League during the week.
