Came on for the U23s yesterday and scored a brace and an assist for U18s today
Three goals and two assists for the U18s so far this season.

i have a gut feeling that England will regret letting him slip through to Sweden. Still times though.

Another left winger. Convert him to a proper number 9, pleeeeease.

Or perhaps actually get a LW that can do that job properly?

Neither Rashford / Martial are the answer.

Still hurting from yesterday I see :D. I just want some balance from the right, more. Half the reason PVA was allowed to be that high up is because we don’t have a right winger.

I've been really impressed with him this season. He's beginning to tie his game together really nicely. Technically superb. His interplay has massively improved in my opinion and everything positive came through him today. Has a similar sort of style to Martial and I'd say he's faster.

Great potential. Very Martial like but with more urgency
Yeah looks a real talent. We have so much potential among the young players whether in the academy or first team. Really hope the club gets its act together on the first team to make use of the immense potential.

Seems Butt has done a terrific job?

I like Elanga. Hes very selfish on the ball, yet he is incredibly driven. I hope he is coachable because he can occasionally make the wrong decision in final 3rd (expected at his age). I reckon there is all the ability to make it to the next level, but it will be interesting to see if he will get his chances soon.

Definitely similar to Martial in his movement.
Seems to be more of an attacking player who plays on the left than what I would call a winger in the classic sense.
Looks like the lad has potential.

With Elanga back, we might actually stand a chance beating Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup. Maybe Greenwood can be moved down for that game too.

Of course we will see, but I believe he, Mengi, Shola and Mejbri are first-team players at the making.

What happened with him, another injury? I was hoping we could see him in the first team squad for next season as he's impressed in most of the games he played in.

Still too early for him. He struggled in U-23 level. 0 goals in 8 games or something like this.
But I have no doubt that if he makes this next step and impresses the coaches in U-23, he will make his debut for the first team next season.

Does he play on the right as good as he does on the Left?
He was playing as Striker recently not a Winger. However he always skin any defender from both flank with pace, imo he plays like a young Raheem Sterling.

Well deserved. He and Mejbri look like real potential first team players.

If Sancho doesn't get signed this year I expect Elanga to make the bench a few times, think he's a very exciting player.
