Speaking to the Sweden Herald, he added that training alongside Ronaldo gave him valuable insight into the standards required at the very top level of football and continues to influence his own development.
"I can learn a lot from them. Especially Ronaldo, who I played with at Manchester United,” he said.
“I learned a lot from him, on and off the pitch. It's a great honour to have played with him. I just wish he would continue like this.”
Elanga mentioned specific lessons: "How he is after training and stuff. How he handles his recovery. Lots of things."
