Young Stars Impress David Moyes

Robin van Persie may have got the biggest cheer when he came on as a substitute in Manchester United's 5-2 win in Hong Kong on Monday, but it was three youngsters who stood out.
.
Adnan Januzaj, 18, and Jesse Lingard, 20, both climbed off the bench to score against local side Kitchee, the Lingard strike with 10 minutes to go a lovely curling effort with the inside of his boot from outside the box.
.
That was the midfielder's fourth goal on United's pre- season tour of Asia and Australia and will add to his fast-burgeoning reputation. It also made him the Premier League champions' top-scorer on tour.
.
Wilfried Zaha, 20, a signing from Crystal Palace, also impressed in patches, especially in the first-half, and his clever reverse pass set up defender Fabio Da Silva to score in a comfortable win on a tricky pitch.
.
United manager David Moyes, who took over from Alex Ferguson on July 1, said he was delighted "to see a couple of the young boys doing well, Jesse Lingard and Adnan Januzaj, who I didn't know as much about.
.
"And Wilfried Zaha, who has only just joined, has shown what he's capable of.
.
"So I think they will go away from the trip feeling they've come here and contributed to it."
.
United now head back to Britain after playing pre- season matches in Thailand, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.
