Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has included uncapped Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj in his World Cup squad, just three weeks after the teenager declared his allegiance to the country.

The 19-year-old was born in Brussels with Balkan heritage and was able to pick several nations for international duty, including Albania and Kosovo.

And Wilmots said: 'He is a top talent and has such exceptional qualities. He can play several positions.'

Januzaj will be joined by another 19-year-old, forward Divock Origi of French team Lille.

Wilmots included Origi after Aston Villa forward Christian Benteke ruptured his achilles tendon last month.

'He has great potential,' Wilmots said. 'He has Benteke's profile. It is easy to target him.'
