Manchester United youngster Anthony Elanga is angling for a loan move next season.
The 19-year old signed a new contract with United in March an scored his first senior goal for the club on the final day of the Premier League season away at Wolves.
However, the academy graduate is keen to continue his developments next season, and knows that further first-team opportunities may be hard to come by.
The Swedish under-21international joined the United academy system in 2014 from Malmo, and only made his first appearance for the under-23 side a year ago. Despite only a handful of appearances at that level, he was still drafted into the Premier League squad for the rearranged fixture at home to Leicester last month, and made his debut before being replaced by Marcus Rashford.
He is currently away with the Sweden under-21 side but plans to sit down with United bosses to plot out his immediate future on his return.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
