David Moyes has revealed Adnan Januzaj's recent omissions
from Manchester United's team has been to protect the youngster from burnout.
Januzaj made an electric introduction to his Old Trafford
career, scoring twice on his first Premier League start at Sunderland in
October and impressing many with his tricky wing play.
But the 19-year-old has not played in United's three
games since their 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool, missing out on the matchday
squad altogether for last Tuesday's loss to Manchester City.
United host Aston Villa on Saturday before a crucial UEFA
Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford,
and Moyes insists the winger is still a big part of his plans.
"I think Adnan has played an incredible amount of
games for a 19-year-old," he said.
"We have to be mindful of that. We have seen signs
in training that we have to be careful what we do with him.
"He is a great talent and he is someone we know will
go a long way at Manchester United. But we are just being careful with him.
"We have to do the right things and he has played a
lot of football."
