United have players before Elanga just now but put a lot of hope in the future speed man.

His new contract keeps him at the club until 2026 so there’s plenty of time to develop.

Elanga has played just six games for the Red Devils, but scored against Wolves in the final game of last season.

And he made his Champions League debut in draw with Young Boys in early December.

Elanga has represented Sweden at youth level but has yet to make a full international appearance.

Meanwhile, midfielder James Garner is due to negotiate a contract. He is on loan at Nottingham Forest but is keen to find out his place in United’s plans.
