In a harsh way, Anthony Elanga still brought MU money after 2 years of breaking up Old Trafford. It was an iconic response of the Swedish star with the club who “criticized” himself.
Elanga is about to become Newcastle's new winger for approximately 60 million pounds. This is a great bargain worth 45 million pounds of Nottingham, after they spent only £ 15 million to buy Elanga from MU in 2023.
When selling Elanga to Forest, MU installs the terms that will receive 15% of the profit value for the next player's next deal, equivalent to 6-7 million pounds at the moment. This is a “gratitude” gift that Elanga has for MU, but it is also a “slap” for the old team.
It is satirical, MU's wing position has never been fine for many years, although they have invested hundreds of millions of pounds for Jadon Sancho, Antony and Amad Diallo. The Red Devils are busy looking for the right person somewhere, but forgot a “homegrown” product available as Elanga.
The star born in 2002 tried hard in every opportunity to play and also left many imprints. But in the eyes of the coaching committee, specifically, coach Erik Ten Hag, so it was not enough to keep Elanga. He was sold to forest at a cheap price, and the label “not enough quality”.
Not resigned to such reviews, Elanga and Forest showed intense vitality in the Premier League. With the continuous play, Elanga played 82 matches in the past 2 seasons and quickly reached a peak. Elanga's peak performance in the previous season, which were partly concretized by 6 goals, helped Forest to the 7th final.
It was the end of “reducing the height” compared to the forest in the beginning of the season, but it was too good compared to the stature of the team. And especially, when placed next to MU, Forest and Elanga have the right to raise their heads. They were in the right direction, completely opposite to the Red Devils.
After achieving a stepping stone with Forest, now is the right time for Elanga to come to a more ambitious stop. Newcastle is a great choice, with the Champions League. The more special, Elanga is now approximately 60 million pounds – the number is higher than all the winger of MU now.
Tells all these details to show that the problem may not be in the MU player, but the MU environment itself. From Elanga to Scott McTominay, Romelu Lukaku and many stars left Old Trafford, they all found their best version in a suitable place.
And now, a “stepchild” still reported that the club has nurtured in the first months of his career, while the “biological” children only cost money and cause more afflictions for MU.
