"Likely to leave..." - Transfer expert claims Man Utd star is set to depart Old Trafford

Anthony Elanga is "likely to leave" Manchester United on loan before the transfer window closes, a report has claimed.

Elanga, 20, has struggled for first-team football this season under United boss Erik ten Hag.

In total, he has made 20 appearances in all competitions, although he has come off the bench in the majority of those games.

He has managed only 392 minutes in the Premier League this season and has not scored a single goal in any competition.

Elanga now looks set to leave Old Trafford this month, according to ESPN's Mark Ogden.

"Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga is likely to leave on loan," wrote Ogden.

"The club have received several enquiries for the Sweden forward, with Borussia Dortmund the favoured option of the youngster."

Romano reveals '10 bids' for Elanga

The Sweden international, who is under contract with United until 2026, is believed to have several options in terms of a loan move.

Fabrizio Romano claims as many as 10 clubs have expressed an interest in signing the winger, who made 27 senior appearances for United in the 2021-22 – scoring three times and providing two assists.

"About Manchester United, I am told they received more than 10 bids for Anthony Elanga on loan," Romano said on his YouTube channel.

"I told you about Borussia Dortmund, but I want to say also about PSV Eindhoven, who are tracking Elanga.

"There are clubs also in Italy, so there are 10 clubs interested in signing Anthony Elanga on loan.

"It's really impressive because this boy has many clubs wanting him on a potential loan deal from Manchester United, but at the moment, while I’m speaking, still no green light from Erik ten Hag, so let’s see what he will decide for Elanga.

"Let's see what he will decide for [Facundo] Pellistri, but at the moment for Pellistri, Valencia made a proposal, but Erik ten Hag said no, so let’s see what Man United will decide for Elanga and Pellistri in the final days of the window […]."
