Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga admits he's an excellent 2021 so far.

Elanga has his first goal at Premier League level and also with the Sweden U21 team.

He told Fotbollskanalen via Fotboll Transfers: "It has been a fantastic experience to make a debut in the A-team. I've learned so much. All players are very welcoming to me, they give me good tips and make it very easy for me when I step on the field.

"I just have to keep working hard in training. How I train is how I play, so if I train very hard I will play very well. But right now my focus is on the U21 national team here. Then, when this get-together is over, I will sit down with the club and discuss what is best for me for next season."

Indeed, Elanga says he'll be ready for whatever United's management have planned for him next season. The attacker admits he could be loaned out next season.

He continued: "You must be ready if they want to send you out on loan or back to the U23 team. I can not say that I play for the A-team yet. You have to be ready all the time and give 150 percent in training. If I get my chance on the pitch, I have to take it. If I can score then it's a bonus, if I can play well it's even better."

Signed from Malmo seven years ago, Elanga twice tasted Premier League action for United last season. The 20 year-old signed a new deal in March for an undisclosed length of time.

Elanga is already a goalscorer for the first team of United - and did the same on his Sweden U21 debut in midweek. He struck in victory over Finland, having also scored in the final game of the Premier League season in United's win at Wolves.

The youngster is the son of former Cameroon international Joseph Elanga and still qualifies for the African nation internationally.
