Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is a fan of the new Anthony Elanga chant.
Since breaking into the first-team, United fans have serenaded the academy graduate to the tune of Snap!’s 1993 hit Rhythm Is a Dancer, with the following lyrics:
Rhythem is a dancer, Anthony Elanga,
You won’t stop him if you dare,
Came from Scandinavia,
To be United’s saviour,
Scoring goals from everywhere.
Wooah, it’s Elanga…
Rhythm is a dancer… 🔊🕺#MUFC | #UCL pic.twitter.com/mEIVLxoKjp

After getting on the scoresheet at Elland Road last weekend, Elanga told United’s official website: “I felt amazing when I scored and hearing them chanting my song. That made it very special.”
But now Rangnick has shared his own opinion on the chant after being asked a question by Andy Mitten, who was first to give the Elanga song airtime on the Talk of The Devils podcast earlier this season.
Rangnick said (via Manchester Evening News): “Yes I know [Elanga’s chant], everyone could hear that song, rhythm is a dancer, yes, I know that song. It’s nice for the boy and it shows how creative our supporters are.”
🗣 "Everybody could hear them singing that song, Rhythm is a dancer. It shows how creative our supporters are."

It’s the best chant I have heard in years and I hope Elanga reaches his potential just so that we can sing it for many years to come.
The Wanda Metropoliano was bouncing to the sound of Rhythm Is a Dancer on Wednesday night, just like Elland Road was three days prior.
