Man Utd boss Solskjaer delighted with Elanga preseason form

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is leaning towards keeping hold of Anthony Elanga this season.

United have just reinforced their attacking with the £72.9million signing of Jadon Sancho but Solskjaer suggested Elanga could still be in his set-up after the transfer window closes on August 31.

"It would be easy to say the boy should go on loan but he's doing so well," Solskjaer said after Saturday's defeat at QPR. "He's electric, his pace, his skill, he's not afraid of anything, he's got the courage and bravery of a Man United player.

"Today he created chances for others and for himself, he scored a goal with his most difficult opportunity, I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to be staying here.

"It depends, of course, we know it's important for him to develop and get game-time but he's one of them we've not really decided. Because if he keeps on like he is I might want to keep him."
