Anthony Elanga called his move from Manchester United to Nottingham Forest “perfect.” In addition, the youthful winger claims there isn’t much of a difference between the two teams.
Elanga is now on international duty with Sweden, having made an impressive start to life at the City Ground after joining from Old Trafford in the summer. The 21-year-old has appeared in all eight Premier League games for Liverpool so far, scoring his first goal for the club in their memorable 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last month.
He has helped Forest to 13th place in the table just three places and three points below United. Steve Cooper ’s side also pushed Erik ten Hag’s men all the way in a 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford in August.
Speaking about his transfer to Fotbollskanalen, Elanga said: “It has been perfect. I talked to the leaders before I came here. I know what the leaders want and how to play. The project and everything there is perfect for me.”
And asked about the difference between playing for Forest and United, where he came through the youth ranks to play in the first team, he added: “Nottingham are still a great team historically. They have won two Champions Leagues. So, you could say I’ve gone from one big team to another big team
“The change isn’t that significant. We started the league well, winning some games, drawing some, and losing some. However, it is a good team, a nice city, and a decent group of players. The season is long, and hopefully we will have a successful season.”
