Man Utd whizkid Elanga focused on improvement amid excellent preseason

Manchester United teenager Anthony Elanga is aiming to get better and better this season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted Elanga had given him a "great problem" after he scored in the 2-2 friendly draw with Brentford on Thursday.

United are still weighing up whether to loan Elanga, but the young Swede is only focused on improving his game.

"I just like to keep working hard, I keep my head down and I just let my work do the talking," he told MUTV.

"For me it's just about improving, getting better and better. That's what this pre-season is about getting better, playing games, getting minutes in my legs and just enjoying it in general."

On his goal against Brentford, Elanga added: "When it went in I could hear the roar from the fans, and I felt special.

"It's my first time playing at Old Trafford with the fans, I played here against Leicester with no fans but with fans it's even more special."
