Sweden remains calm when England monitors Man Utd striker Elanga
England watch Manchester United striker Anthony Elanga.
The FA is aware that Elanga, 19, who joined Manchester United’s academy at the age of 12, has lived in the UK long enough to represent the three lions, says The sun.
Elanga, son of the former Cameroonian defender Joseph Elanga, was born in Sweden, played in Malmö at a very early age and has represented the country’s U21 year olds eight times.
Elanga has not only been in eight games for United this season, he has also started the last three games.
And the 19-year-old scored in the crucial 3-1 away win over Brentford.
Sweden coach Janne Andersson hoped to get him on a planned 24-man tour in Portugal this week.
But Old Trafford boss Ralf Rangnick blocked it last month.
But the Swedes, who have a World Cup semi-final against the Czech Republic in March, do not think that Elanga is looking to change and play for either England or Cameroon.
