Anthony Elanga 'drives forward like a young Ryan Giggs', says former Manchester United defender Paul Parker... who insists the in-form wonderkid HAS to start for Ralf Rangnick's side after bursting onto the scene in style

Manchester United wonderkid Anthony Elanga has been likened to a 'young Ryan Giggs' by former Red Devils defender Paul Parker.

Elanga, 19, has impressed since being brought into the first-team fold by Ralf Rangnick in recent matches.

After producing an encouraging display against Aston Villa earlier this month, the Swedish forward was given the nod again by Rangnick away at Brentford last Wednesday.

And he repaid the interim manager's faith by heading home the opener for United in a 3-1 victory, with fans now desperate for him to kick on and become the next academy success story at Old Trafford.
