Manchester United attacker Anthony Elanga says his improving spring is down to sheer hard work.

Elanga has worked on improving his jump in gym training and it has worked, with the Swede acknowledging his much better in aerial challenges.

"You know what? Honestly, in the youth team, I wasn't really jumping and scoring many headers but I think I've scored more headers for the first team than I did in the youth team," he told manutd.com.

"So it was something I worked on a lot last summer. I went away for a bit, working with one of my personal coaches, Tom [Joyce] and he helped me a lot.

"We worked a lot on jumping and other aspects of my game," he said. "I feel like, last pre-season, you could see that I've been working on those areas and, like I say, it's all about keeping on improving, getting better. My motto is always keep improving as I know I will never be the finished article. I can always improve and find areas where I can get better at.

"I think it shows my dedication and my mentality as well. Like I say, mentality is one of my strongest assets. I've been through a lot of things, even earlier on in the season as well. but I've not let it affect me. I'll keep pushing and keep working hard."
