Anthony Elanga told he's set new Manchester United example for academy players

Manchester Under-23s coach Paul McShane believes Anthony Elanga has set the perfect example for any United youngster who has aspirations of making it as a regular first-team player.

Elanga, who joined United at the age of just 12-years-old, was embedded within the first-team squad as soon as Ralf Rangnick was appointed interim manager last November. The German was impressed with what he had seen from the youngster on the training ground and awarded him his first Premier League appearance of the season in his first game in charge against Crystal Palace.

That marked the beginning of a change in fortunes for the Sweden international, as he continued to be a regular fixture within Rangnick's plans. He ended the campaign with 27 first team appearances to his name, plus three goals.
