'I can understand what he is saying': Anthony Elanga defends Man United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo on his criticism of younger players... as the Portuguese superstar claims they are 'not the same' as his generation

Manchester United forward Anthony Elanga has defended team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo on his criticism of younger players during his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.

In his explosive interview on TalkTV, the Portugal international spoke out a range of topics including his relationship with current boss Erik ten Hag, and the forward also complained that young players have it too easy and don't listen to his advice.

Elanga, 20, who made his first-team debut for United in May 2021, has publicly defended Ronaldo's comments while making it clear that himself and the Red Devils other youngsters are committed.
