Last summer, Manchester United's talented teenager Anthony Elanga moved to Nottingham Forest, which shocked many fans. The transfer fee of £15 million at the time was almost a good deal in today's view. The winger's performances in the Premier League this season have shown that, with five goals and seven assists, which is quite impressive for any player.
In fact, Elanga's story is more than just numbers. The nine years he spent at Manchester United were full of emotions and memories for him. Especially the deep master-apprentice relationship with Ronaldo, which is even more moving. Cristiano Ronaldo's encouragement after missing the penalty made the young Elanga understand the true meaning of professional football, which is not only a victory, but also a sharpening of character and spirit.
However, the cruelty and reality of the football world forced the young player to face the option of transfer. In Ten Hag's tactical system, he can't find his place, even if he is reluctant to give up, he can only choose to leave. And Nottingham Forest gave him a new hope and stage, and the transfer fee of 18 million pounds also proved his strength and potential.
In his new squad, Elanga has quickly developed into a key player, not only in his performance on the pitch, but also in his professionalism and dedication, which has infected every member of the team. His blessings to his former club Manchester United in the interview showed his broad-mindedness and respect for the past.
For the future, Elanga has his own dreams and goals. He hopes to prove himself in the Premier League and to one day show his talent on the European stage. He also has high hopes for his younger generation, Garnacho, who wants the youngster to shine at Manchester United.
Against his former club Manchester United, Elanga had mixed emotions but was full of fighting spirit. He knows that on the green field, only by going all out can he be worthy of his dreams and sweat. The young former Manchester United star is writing his own legend in his own way.
