Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga attracting interest from several clubs regarding a loan deal

According to The Sun, Manchester United have received around ten offers for proposals of a loan move for winger Anthony Elanga, who is keen to get regular playing minutes.

The talks of Elanga leaving out on loan have been there since the start of the window with Borussia Dortmund, PSV Eindhoven and Everton all registering their interest in the player.

Ideally, going out on loan to gain some regular minutes would be the perfect scenario for the Swede international who has failed to notch a starting position under Erik ten Hag.

Elanga broke into the first team under interim manager Ralf Rangnick during the second half of the season and was one of the mainstays of the team.

Many expected Elanga to build on that and solidify his position in the first team. However, the emergence of Marcus Rashford and the signing of Antony has reduced his minutes to cameo appearances off the bench.

United are well short in numbers in midfield and attack and with the confusion surrounding the ownership, there is not much that can be done in the transfer window.

Hence the reason behind Ten Hag not sanctioning a loan deal for Elanga as he does not want to reduce his already thin squad in the fight for the top four.

Although there are many things which need to be refined by the winger, he does possess good qualities, especially off the ball and could play a part in the second half of the season.

With two days to go until the window shuts, it remains to be seen whether the Swede is able to secure a loan move in search of more minutes or will stay with United at least until the end of the season.
