Cristiano Ronaldo is not just vital to Manchester United’s future, he is also key to Anthony Elanga’s.
Ronaldo proved he remains indispensable for United at 37 by scoring his 18th Premier League goal against Brentford to move to within two of Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot. Elanga claims the Portugal star is also hugely influential behind the scenes at United because of the advice he is giving young players like him.
The forward says Ronaldo is always talking to him, helping him improve. “You can see his record and the amount of goals he’s scored, I think it’s 100 in the Premier League now,” said Elanga. “He knows what it takes to get to the top so it’s more than just right to speak to someone like that. And, yeah, we have a chat the day before or even during a game. You might see us in the warm-up.
