Ralf Rangnick reveals he watched videos of Anthony Elanga on YOUTUBE before working with him and thought 'he was really good' as interim boss says he blocked Manchester United starlet leaving on loan this month

Ralf Rangnick is known for shaping the careers of young talents and it is clear that Anthony Elanga is one that has caught the eye of the interim Manchester United boss.

Elanga has impressed the German - starting their last two Premier League matches.

The 19-year-old rewarded his manager's faith in him by scoring the opener in their 3-1 win at Brentford on Wednesday night with a brilliantly taken finish.
