The Swede is on the edge of United’s first team squad, and the club has high hopes that he will become a star of the future, despite their recent investment in e.g. Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 19-year-old scored on his full Premier League debut against Wolves last term, but his only appearance in that period came as a late replacement in a defeat in the EFL Cup against West Ham.

Elanga has therefore been linked with a loan move from Dreams Theater in January, and the Swede admits he could leave.

‘Anything is possible, but right now I’m at United, so I’m focusing on them,’ said Elanga.

‘But anything is possible and I have to be ready if the club wants to loan me or wants me to stay.’

Elanga joined United from the Swedish side Malmö in 2014, and he has been linked with a return to his homeland with the Allsvenskan a rumor of interested party.

However, the winger is unsure if there is truth in the rumors.

‘I do not know if I can answer that question, because it will actually be difficult.’ said Elanga.

‘I love (former clubs) Elfsborg, and I love Malmö. So that’s a very difficult question. I still follow Malmö and Elfsborg, but mostly Malmö. ‘
