Fans have been reacting on social media after seeing what Manchester United's official account posted on the back of Anthony Elanga's goal.

On Tuesday night, Ruben Amorim's Red Devils travelled to the City Ground to take on high-flying Nottingham Forest.

Nuno Espirito Santo's men were looking to continue their recent good form after they sealed a place in the semi-final of the FA Cup over the weekend.

With five minutes on the clock, the home fans were sent into pandemonium after former United man Elanga ran the whole length of the pitch to put Forest ahead.

It was a great show of pace and strength by the Swedish international, who evaded the challenge of Alejandro Garnacho before slotting the ball into the bottom corner.

After Elanga scored, United's official social media account wrote: "Goal. The hosts take the lead."

Reacting to the tweet, fans were wondering why they decided not to name the scorer, who used to play for United.

One fan said: "Who scored?"

Another tweeted: "And who scores it? The one who should never sold…"

A third fan added: "Who scored Admin. Mention he's name. Shameless club, letting an academy player with talent go."


Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Andy Reid was full of praise for Elanga, he said: "That is simply incredible from Anthony Elanga. Alejandro Garnacho tried to stay with him, but Elanga shrugs him off. On his left foot, he has buried that into the bottom corner. What a goal."

Elanga moved to Forest from United back in the summer of 2023 for a reported fee of £15 million.

After joining the Old Trafford club's academy in 2014, Elanga made his first-team debut in 2021 and went on to play 55 matches for United, scoring four goals.

Since playing for Forest, the 22-year-old has so far scored 11 goals in 73 matches.
