It’s not about the age or experience but about what you can bring to the team. And Anthony Elanga has quickly become one of Manchester United’s most impactful players. His equalizer in Red Devils’ draw at Atletico Madrid and his goal at Leeds United in the Premier League made it a perfect week for the youngster. Rio Ferdinand wants to see more.🔴 This Manchester United move 🔝Anthony Elanga ⚽️#MondayMotivation | @ManUtd | #UCL pic.twitter.com/BIB4nfgjqB— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) February 28, 2022 The former United and England defender praised Elanga for his excellent movement that often leads to chances.”What I like about him, and what I see constantly and more and more with him, is he plays and runs. There’s an intensity to his game that I really like. You always find it with young players who just get into the team, they just don’t stop running.”##EDITORS_CHOICE##Although Ralf Rangnick’s side failed to overcome Watford in their last fixture, Elanga was one of the few United players who came out of it with any credit.”I thought he was our best attacking player against Watford. All the chances that you see created, he was probably involved in 90 per cent of them. He plays and runs, he’s on the move, he disrupts the opposition defenders. I think you have to credit him massively.”Tuesday, 22.45: (2.10) Cardiff (3.00) Derby (4.10)With the big Manchester Derby coming up, there is a lot of talk about Rangnick’s team selection. Ferdinand reckons that Elanga’s done enough to earn a place in the starting eleven.”If you’re picking the team based on form and impact, he’s one of the first names on the sheet in an attacking sense right now.”That’s some high praise for the 19-year-old sensation.
