The 19-year-old scored the fourth and final goal for Ralf Rangnick’s side to ensure all three points at Elland Road. It was the first league game in front of fans between the two old rivals at Elland Road since October 2003 and it certainly lived up to the billing.
Elanga came off the bench making a big impact on the outcome of the game. He insisted that he is hungry for more days like this going forward. He told Manchester United’s official website:
Manchester United, despite their dominance in the first half and leading the game 2-0, were pegged back by Marcelo Bielsa’s side early in the second half. A double substitution in the 66th minute from Rangnick worked wonders for Manchester United as both Fred and Elanga found the back of the net.
Elanga has revealed that he is delighted to make a match-winning contribution for the Red Devils. He added:
Elanga has a big future at Manchester United
Manchester United have produced some world-class players from their academy in the past. Elanga seems to have what it takes to become a world-beater one day. He is only 19 years of age and has already made 15 first-team appearances for the Red Devils, having scored thrice.
Ralf Rangnick has used the Swede on a regular basis, either from the start or from the bench. The German manager is known for spotting young talent and the fact that he admires Elanga speaks volumes regarding the player’s potential.
A versatile attacker, who can play on either flank as well as a number nine, the 19-year-old could prove to be a superstar at Old Trafford in years to come.
