Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof says Anthony Elanga needs to keep working hard to reach his potential.

Lindelof believes Elanga will have a very bright future for club and country but he has warned his United teammate to keep working hard and not get complacent after his rise to stardom.

“He's a great talent, still very, very young but he's got some really, really great qualities as a player," Lindelof told United Review. “He's very fast with great technique and he's got an eye for goal.

“If he just keeps on working hard, stays humble, and keeps his feet on the ground, I think he can have a great future ahead of him. Like I said, he's still very, very young so I think it's important to let him develop in his own time, but he's a great talent.

“Of course, I always try to help players and help team-mates if they need my help. That's the kind of person I am, I always want to help people, so of course I talk to him. He's from Sweden, so it makes sense that I speak to him as well.

“I'm also the captain of the national team so for me to do that just comes naturally. I've spoken to him and said stay humble, keep working hard, and keep doing your thing. Keep your feet on the ground and work hard because even if you're young and you manage to come to this level, it's a great thing, but staying at this level is also hard because you need to really keep working hard."
