Manchester United youngster Anthony
Elanga is happy to be sharing the dressing
room with a footballing legend like
Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 19-year-old winger said that having
an experienced player around is beneficial
both on and off the field. Elanga has also
lauded Ronaldo for his personality off the
pitch. The youngster said in this regard
(via the club's official website):
“It’s really good. I get into training
quite early, and I see him and
we have a chat, and we’ll speak
a lot. If we had a game the day
before, we’ll speak about the game
or training, and we also speak
about what we do in the gym."
Elanga added:
"He’s a really good person to
have around the place, not just
because of what he does on the
pitch, but off the pitch as well. If
we need any help we can speak
to him. He’s easy-going and a
really good person to be around.”
Anthony Elanga has had a breakout season
for Manchester United. The Swedish winger
has got ample opportunities this season
after Anthony Martial was loaned out to
Sevilla in January and Mason Greenwood's
indefinite suspension.
The 19-year-old has recently been preferred
ahead of Marcus Rashford by interim manager
Ralf Rangnick. Elanga has made 18 appearances
for United, scoring three times. That includes
a strike against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA
Champions League Round of 16 first
leg at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Despite his highs, Elanga has also had
a few lows. The winger missed the decisive
penalty against Middlesbrough in the
FA Cup fourth round. However, it's
worth mentioning that Ronaldo was
one of the first players to console
Elanga after the latter's penalty miss.

for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

blank against Atletico at Old Trafford as
United were knocked out in the Round
of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
