Zlatan Ibrahimovic has urged Anthony Elanga to 'strive for more' after breaking into the Sweden national team.

Elanga has been a breath of fresh air for Manchester United this season, having scored three goals in 18 appearances for the Red Devils.

AC Milan star Ibrahimovic - who played alongside Elanga's father Joseph at Malmo - has been impressed with the 19-year-old's rise to stardom, but urged him to push himself to the next level.

Speaking to SVT Sport, Ibrahimovic said: 'He's [Elanga] a great talent, we are proud and happy that he comes from Sweden. That he can represent Sweden now makes it even bigger.

"He has all the future ahead of him, and if he continues just as he has done, it looks positive. It's just fighting, never being content, striving for more. How much he can develop depends on him."
