Elanga pulled off a statement performance for Nottingham Forest against his former club to aid the win.
The 21-year-old was subbed off by Nuno Espirito Santo late in the game but must have left United fans with nostalgia with the ironical strong showing at Old Trafford.
Elanga groomed his career at Manchester United and was tipped as one of the promising youngsters with his lit performance for Man United U-18 and U-19. He subsequently rose through the ranks to make his first team appearance for the club in 2020/21 season.
He made 21 league appearance for the club the next season, scoring 2 goals. Under Erik ten Hag, Elanga's Man United fortunes took a wild tumble. With the signing of Antony from Ajax for a record £84m, Elanga dropped down ten Hag's pecking order, and was subsequently sold to Nottingham Forest in the last transfer window.
At Nottingham Forest, the 21-year-old has breath life back to his career. He has made 20 Premier League appearances for the club with 10 goal contributions.
While Elanga is flying high with the Tricky Trees, Manchester United front three - Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, and Marcus Rashford are struggling to fetch goals or assists for Manchester United.
In 16 Premier League games, Antony has recorded no assist or goal. Ramus Holjund scored his first goal against Aston Villa after 15 Premier League games.
Marcus Rashford has 3 goals and 2 assists in 19 Premier League games for Manchester United this season. From the stats, the Man United trio have managed only 6 goal contributions this season. Meanwhile, Anthony Elanga has 10 goal contributions for Nottingham Forest, including a lit performance which saw him add to the tally against the Red Devils.
Notably, Nottingham Forest had their fair share of a difficult campaign this season under ex-manager Steve Cooper like Manchester United. However, Elanga seems to have built back his career with the Tricky Trees with a brilliant individual performance away from his stalemate at Old Trafford under ten Hag.
