I remember Ronaldo at 18 and was excited at the talent and potential he had, it was frightening. All I know is, I see the same with Januzaj regardless of who was/is better at 18.

Bony is ridiculously bad.
This second half is the performance we've been waiting for. Pressing, movement, desire. Beautiful.
£35m bid in January?
Good 3 points, I'm also very glad of the clean sheet, happy for De Gea. It's been a while, he deserved one!
I know what your saying but with Ronaldo even at 18 you could see he was going to be the very best in the world.
Januzaj is going to be world class but I can't see him reaching the heights of Ronaldo.
Ronaldo wasn't this good at making decisions at 18, and even the things he was good at weren't as consistently good. Ronaldo's subsequent development is almost unbelievable though.
FT. 2-0!
Finally seen the Champions return. Well done all round.

More intelligent but not as talented. Ronaldo obviously had all the ability in the world as well having incredible determination to get to where he is now. Januzaj is more gotze-esque.
Yes, very very frustrating to watch when he was 18.
Talented yes but nowhere as complete as Adnan at a similar age
He's actually not 'ridiculously bad', though he had a bad performance today.
Little doubt that Januzaj decision making is miles better to Ronaldos at 18.
bullshit
The fans will leave happy so that is good.
Absolute Jekyll and Hyde performance. Good win, was all about the tempo in the second half.
As exciting as he was I have to say I didn't see that after 10 appearances.
Very good second half performance from the Moyes boys, deserved victory.
Good second half, good win. Next game is against Chelsea I think? At least we built up some sort of confidence for that,
3 pts, clean sheet, job done.
Ed Chambirlin or whatever: Dwight, did they deserve that?
Redknapp: Yep

Maybe not, but Ronaldo was in no way 'pretty awful'.
Very good second half performance from the Moyes boys, deserved victory.
Poor performance, two almost accidential goals. Long, long way to go to be a clear favorite for 4th place.
No it's not. Ronaldo was talented but nowhere near as influential
I thought it was just that. Easier to score than to miss it.
Yeah, I should have said "has been". He's an average player though, IMO. Swansea are in trouble.
Really enjoyable 2nd half. Well done, boys. 
feck off
Quick, go to the Title race thread
They're different players IMO, Januzaj is more a Mata than a Ronaldo/Hazard type winger, despite him playing wide right now. My guess is he will come inside and affect games there as a number 10 eventually. He's not a pacey, tricky winger ala Ronny.
Janujaz is not better than Ronaldo at 18...and please don't even compare to Best.
I think he will become a different type of player to both. A top playmaker. His passes and vision and awareness are amazing. Give the lad time.

Good second half. I hope we can build on that and go on a good run now.
Yeah as good as Januzaj is I'd be very, very surprised if he improves astronomically as Ronaldo did. God I hope he does but we all know that's virtually a once-in-a-lifetime type thing. We're just living through two at once with Ronaldo and Messi.
How about enjoying his performances instead of judging on imaginary time scales with the best players in the world. feck me, we want a reason to be negative. Hey, here's a talented young player, Yea I know, he's more talented than Pele when he was 2 and a half, Oh no he isn't. Give it a fecking rest.
Really good second half from our boys. Kagawa through the center and Adnan on the left worked really well with Welbeck up top. Basically all our good moves came down that side. Hopefully we can carry the second half performance into the next game
I never said he was. I said "infuriating"
Yeah he's got a very mature head on his shoulders. Imagine him even 3, 4 years down the line. Even then at only 22 he could be our main man.
What? The second half was some vintage United!
You quoted someone that said it and said you agreed with it.
Januzaj reminds me of Laudrup, more than anyone else. The build, the quick feet, the dribbling style, the shuffle move, where he quickly shifts it from one foot to the other to past a player, that was Laudrup's trademark move and something that Adnan does quite regularly. Not to mention the vision and passing and all round first touch and technique. I think he'll be as good as Laudrup, too.
