Anthony Elanga had effectively decided to leave Manchester United on loan prior to his first appearance under Ralf Rangnick.
Elanga scored his third goal of the campaign to secure a fortuitous draw for United in their Champions League round-of-16 tie at Atletico Madrid, becoming the club's youngest goalscorer in the competition's knockout stages.
The 19-year-old struck against Brentford last month, as well as at Leeds on Sunday, and sustained his encouraging form in Madrid under Rangnick, who has played the Swede 13 times this term.
