Zlatan Ibrahimovic has recounted the first time he met Anthony Elanga while he was at Manchester United, after the 19-year-old this week received his first call-up to the senior Sweden squad
The youngster was playing in the academy when he first spoke with Ibrahimovic, who had played with his father, Joseph, at Malmo. Remembering the exchange, the 40-year-old told of how a young Elanga approached him while eating at Carrington.
“We had some lunch at the training facility in Manchester with the team, he said (via SVT Sport ). “Then this little guy comes up to me: ‘you know my dad’. And I just help myself: ‘Elanga’. And then it was just... okay.”
