Rio Ferdinand reveals what's impressed him about Manchester United star Anthony Elanga
22.02.2022 - 13:55 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Rio Ferdinand has praised Manchester United starlet Anthony Elanga for seizing the initiative during his early days with the first-team squad.
Having progressed through the famed Old Trafford academy, Swedish teenager Elanga made his debut last season and has been handed plenty of opportunities by Ralf Rangnick in recent months.
It was Elanga who added gloss to the score during a dramatic victory over Leeds United on Sunday afternoon.
The 19-year-old had been struck by an object thrown from the hostile Elland Road crowd, but regained his composure to make it 4-2 during the dying embers of the game.
That was his third senior goal for United and each of them have come away from Old Trafford.
And, according to Ferdinand, that itself speaks volumes for Elanga's character as he moved to pinpoint further qualities that the Sweden U21 international possesses.
Speaking on the latest episode of his Vibe With Five podcast, former United captain Ferdinand said: "He's hungry and he's humble as a young player coming into team. He's chomping at the bit.
"I like the fact that he has impacted games and, three away goals, that's a big thing scoring away from home.
Do you agree with Ferdinand? Have your say in the comments section below.
"He's come on and he's contributed. That's all you want from a young player — to come on and not be anonymous. You want to have an impact and he's done that.
"He's a really good example to all young players coming through you bid your time, you get in and you make your mark when you get in there. He's doing really well."
