Anthony Elanga has had a rough time since the appointment of Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
The 20-year-old winger was a regular fixture under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, even displacing Marcus Rashford for an extended period under the Austrian manager. However, Rashford's return to form alongside the signing of Antony and the emergence of Alejandro Garnacho has put him way down the pecking order.
Therefore when reports emerged this month that clubs such as PSV Eindhoven and Borussia Dortmund were interested in taking Elanga on loan it seemed like the logical move to allow the young winger to leave Old Trafford temporarily and develop his game.
