Man Utd striker Elanga: Parents make sure I don't get complacent

Manchester United whiz Anthony Elanga says he won't get carried with his progress.

The 18-year-old has long been considered a hot prospect at Old Trafford, where he has pushed through the age groups having been spotted by the club shortly after moving to the north-west from Sweden seven years ago.

“I always grew up watching United and when I'd seen that I got scouted I was like, 'Woah, it's an opportunity I can't say no to'," the Sweden youth international told PA Sport.

“My mum and dad always said just stay focused and don't let success get to your head, if that makes sense. Don't get complacent.

“Always look to improve, always look to ask coaches for help, ask them how you're doing.

“Watch over your clips, analyse your games, analyse your training.

“You can always get better and better. Never get complacent and just stay humble."
