Anton Ferdinand believes Anthony Elanga is the only young player who has benefitted from Cristiano Ronaldo’s Manchester United return.
The former West Ham defender compared Elanga to a young Ronaldo, claiming that the 20-year-old is the sole squad figure to have benefitted from the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's expertise this season. The Sweden international has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at Old Trafford.
After being brought into the first-team squad, Elanga was handed regular outings by Ralf Rangnick. The youngster seized his opportunity and became one of the first names on Rangnick ’s team sheet by the end of the season.
