makes ‘boring’ Steve Cooper claim as Manchester United question answered
Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as Anthony Elanga makes Steve Cooper admission as he explains Man United departure
Anthony Elanga stated that when he made the decision to quit Manchester United, he had to consider himself.
The winger signed a five-year contract with Nottingham Forest in the summer after completing the rumoured £15 million move to the City Ground. So far, he has participated in ten games across all tournaments under Steve Cooper’s supervision.
Elanga joined United at the age of 12, progressed through the academy, and made 124 appearances at both the junior and senior levels. He thought it was time to start a new journey after gradually losing his spot in Erik ten Hag’s squad, even if it was never going to be an easy decision to quit a nine-year affiliation with the club.
“Leaving United was a decision that was difficult, one of the biggest clubs in the world,” he stated to Mail Sport.
“I needed to reflect on who I was, what I desired, and how I wanted to envision myself in the next years.
“Of course, I worked hard every day in training, but in the end, the manager made the decision and we players had no say in it.
“On the pitch, we are only able to manage what we can do when we go upon it. I feel like I’ll be doing more of both scoring goals and providing assists this season.
“First, because of the team I play for, and second, because the manager instills confidence in each and every player.”
He basically tells me to not be boring whenever I go on the ball.”
