Anthony Elanga is looking forward to meeting new Manchester United teammate Christian Eriksen.

Only 15 players have more assists than the 30-year-old in Premier League history and Elanga will no doubt benefit from Eriksen's creativity and eye for a penetrative pass.

“Another Scandinavian in the team is special," said Elanga. “That makes three of us now in the team and it'll be nice to meet him and play with him.

“He's a special player, a really good player and I've played against him. I had the honour to play against him last season and you could see his qualities from there.

“I feel like he'll be a great contributor to the team.

“I'm really looking forward to playing with him and hopefully he'll put some balls in behind for me to run on to. That will be nice!"
