Erik ten Hag will not be swayed by the opinions of those outside of his Manchester United staff it would seem, as proven by his handling of winger Anthony Elanga.
The young Swede burst onto the scene last season while Ralf Rangnick was at the helm as interim boss, but has seen his Red Devils career stall under Ten Hag this term. So much so, that the United manager is preparing to send Elanga out on loan next season to try and further his development.
Having fallen behind another exciting young prospect in Alejandro Garnacho in the pecking order, Elanga has found first-team football hard to come by this season and started just seven games. As a result, a temporary spell away from Old Trafford has been touted as the best thing for the 20-year-old.
