Anthony Elanga has expressed delight in his new-found confidence after leaving Manchester United in the summer. The Swedish star joined Nottingham Forest after leaving Old Trafford.
He played a starring role as Forest beat Chelsea 1-0 in the Premier League on Saturday (September 2). Elanga scored the solitary goal, which turned out to be the winner. After the game, Elanga said (via Manchester Evening News):
“It’s something I can build on, but I need to play for in order for me to build that confidence, and that’s something I didn’t really get to do a lot at United.

"But now that I’m here, I feel like I’ve got the confidence of the manager, who has given me these opportunities, so, hopefully, these opportunities will turn into starts, and those starts will turn into more goals and assists.”
He added:
"I’m someone that wants to score goals, and to score goals, you’ve got to get in the box.
"As soon as I saw Taiwo (Awoniyi) pass the ball, I just wanted to attack the space and keep cool and collected. I know where the goal is. It's just about keeping my composure.”
Elanga made 55 appearances for Manchester United, scoring four goals and providing as many assists.
