Manchester United officially announced that it has renewed his contract with 19-year-old Swedish national youth winger Anthony Erlanga until 2026, and the front-line fast horse is deeply valued by Manchester United's current manager Lonnick and is believed to be a direct successor after Anthony Martial leaves the team. The British media is also very optimistic about him, thinking that it can follow sir Alex Ferguson's routine of transforming Ronaldo and transform him from a left winger to a center forward, and in time, Erlanga may even become C Ronaldo's successor.
This contract is signed until June 2026, with additional terms for a one-year priority renewal. Ellanga is very happy to complete the renewal, saying: "I am very happy that the club is confident in my progress, my ultimate goal is to always play for Manchester United, this contract is a very important moment. I know that through continuous effort, opportunities will always come to me and I can't wait to continue my manchester United journey. ”
Ellanga entered the Manchester United youth academy at the age of 12 and before joining Manchester United, he stayed in the Swedish league in Erfusborg and Malmö Youth, last season, Ellanga played 16 times in the U23 youth team, contributed 9 goals and 4 assists, and also won the Manchester United Youth Team's Best Player award, he also made his Premier League debut last season and scored his debut goal against Wolves. This season, he has made 10 appearances for the youth team, contributing 5 goals and 3 assists, and also played 3 times for the Manchester United first team, winning the trust of Manchester United manager Lonnick.
British media revealed that since Anthony Martial's departure is basically a foregone conclusion, Erlanga, who can play the left and right wingers and centers, is regarded by Lonnick as a qualified successor to the Frenchman. For the development prospects of this Swedish demon, British fans also have different views, some people think that his technical ability is average, you can consider transforming into a left wingback; some people think that his development path is a bit like C Ronaldo, you can consider transforming C Ronaldo in the same year, put him in the center position, maybe like the little Luo of the year.
