And Rooney, who explained that he stays after training to help the starlet, feels the youngster is getting better.
The England international was also quick to add that he is also benefiting from his added practice with Januzaj.
"I've stayed out after training with Adnan a few times", Rooney told Inside United.
"Even just working on free-kicks and crossing. It actually benefits me as well and it benefits him.
"I am trying to help him get better and better, which I feel he is doing, and I think young players need to practise all the time, especially coming into the side.
“Senior players also need to keep practising to stay on top of their game so it works for both of us."
