Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has sung the praises of Anthony Elanga after last night's draw at Atletico Madrid.

The Champions League round 16 first-leg clash finished 1-1, with Elanga scoring the equaliser late on.

De Gea said, "He plays really well. He has been an important player for us. He is still very young but has scored important goals for us.

"It is huge for him and for us.

"Second showdown will be 50-50. Both teams can win, but with the fans we can hopefully play better. Let's win matches and advance to the next round."
