Anthony Elanga says leaving Manchester United for Nottingham Forest is no step down.

The Sweden winger made the move this past summer.

"Nottingham are still a great team historically," Elanga told Fotbollskanalen. "They have won two Champions Leagues.

"So, you could say I've gone from one big team to another big team. The difference isn't that big.

"We have started well in the league, winning games, drawing some and losing some. But it's a good team, a good city and good players. The season is long and hopefully we can have a good season."

He added: "It has been perfect. I talked to the leaders before I came here.

"I know what the leaders want and how to play. The project and everything there is perfect for me."
