Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj had two reasons to cheer on Wednesday as the Belgian starlet celebrated his 19th birthday by picking up the fans' player of the month award. The Belgian-born prodigy, who shares the same birthday as supertstars Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Carlos Tevez, was also given a birthday cake by his team-mates

After receiving his award and a £500 cheque to be donated to charity UNICEF, Januzaj explained why he is delighted to be such a fans' favourite at Old Trafford. 'I would like to thank all of the fans, my team-mates and the coaches,' Januzaj told ManUtd.com. 'I am very happy with this trophy and I hope it is not the last one. I hope there will be a lot more to come.' When asked if he has heard the chant that United fans sing in his name, Januzaj said: 'Of course. I like it when they sing because it gives me a bit of motivation as well. I am very happy with it
