Man Utd open to loan offers for Anthony Elanga

Anthony Elanga broke into the first-team under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the end of the 2020/21 campaign and went on to make 27 appearances in all competitions last season.

The young Swede has made another 19 appearances so far in 2022/23 under new boss Erik ten Hag but has only started seven of those games amid stiff competition from the on-fire Marcus Rashford and £85m summer signing Antony on either wing.

According to a report from 90min United may be willing to let Elanga head out on loan before the January transfer deadline next week but the club will be mindful not to leave themselves short of attacking depth. 

It is also vitally important to the club that any loan sanctioned for Elanga is the right one to aid his development.

It has been reported that clubs in Germany, Italy and Spain have all contacted United so far this month, with Borussia Dortmund the highest-profile team to do so. 

From the Premier League, Everton, Leicester, and Southampton have also been in touch regarding the player.

Elanga's overall record at senior level for Man Utd is 48 appearances, four goals, and four assists. There is potential there, while his ability to play on either wing or through the middle could make him more useful in time. 

Since he is under contract until 2026, there is still a place for him in the club's long-term future butt to restore some confidence after a goalless season so far (from 19 appearances), spending time on loan elsewhere might be beneficial for him.
