Dwight Yorke believes Manchester United starlet Anthony Elanga has a "really good" chance of making it to the top after expressing his admiration for the Swedish youngster.
Elanga opened his account for the season in the win over Brentford as he continues to repay interim manager Ralf Rangnick's trust and has convinced during the German's short time at the club.
Yorke worked with the youngster during his training for his coaching badges at United and spoke highly of the attacker.
"I think he has a really good chance of making it," he told The Athletic.
"I was impressed by his attitude when I spent time with him. He was trying to be the best, he was willing to listen properly and he has plenty of speed.
"Anthony is a player who wants the ball at his feet. When you have his type of pace, he needs to also go long and then the ball can come to his feet. I spoke to him about this and I feel he’s added this to his game.
"I also told him not to get bogged down into trying to be the star man and explained that he had to work in different ways, including doing some of the ugly stuff in football which not every player likes to do — all that running off the ball.
"I explained to Anthony that if you have that persistence, you’ll end up getting your rewards in the long run."
