Man Utd attacker Elanga recalls Ronaldo celebration against Norwich

Manchester United attacker Anthony Elanga admits he loves playing with Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 20-year-old set up Ronaldo's seventh-minute opener in the nervy victory over the relegation-threatened Canaries at Old Trafford, joining the five-time Ballon d'Or winner for his trademark SIUUU celebration in front of fans.

Academy product Elanga said: "That was an exciting time – the double SIUUU. I didn't expect it.

"He said: 'Let's do it'. I said, 'fair enough' – but if you see in the video, I didn't really get into the air properly. But I managed to do it anyway and it was a special moment.

"We spoke about it the day before, actually – how we were going to work, in terms of pressing.

"[We said that] if you get an opportunity, look up. If he gets an opportunity, to look up for me, as I'll be in the box or he will be in the box."
