Anthony Elanga has confirmed that he has left Manchester United after nine years at the club.
The 21-year-old has completed a move to fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest. It is expected that the Red Devils have received £15 million from the deal.
We're proud of the person and player you've become, @AnthonyElanga ❤️
🤝 Wishing you the very best of luck in your next chapter.#MUFC

Elanga joined United aged 12 in 2014 and worked his way through the ranks at Carrington to play a key role in the senior team. His first-team debut came on May 11, 2021, in a Premier League clash against Leicester City and he has since gone on to make a total of 55 appearances for the club.
Throughout his time as a Red, the Sweden international scored four and assisted four goals. One strike, in particular, will be remembered fondly by the Old Trafford faithful; he displayed excellent composure to find the back of the net against Atletico Madrid and seal a late, first-leg draw in the Champions League tie.
Last season, Elanga was granted just seven starts in all competitions, so a move away from the club is the best case for all parties to ensure he continues his development by receiving adequate game time elsewhere.
