Separated by seventeen years yet, under the new regime, they could still be the future of Manchester United. Well, if only for a season or, at a push, maybe two.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Elanga, the great and the precocious, the legend and the learner. When they embraced, it looked like a mentor and his pupil.
And when Erik ten Hag draws up his master plan, surely, in the short term at least, he has to find a way to harness the talents of Ronaldo and Elanga. As, from a penalty he earned, Ronaldo scored his 18th Premier League goal of the season, the contention that he might actually be a big part of the problem has surely now been crushed.
