Nottingham Forest has officially announced the acquisition of talented winger Anthony Elanga from Manchester United.
At just 21 years of age, Elanga has signed a lucrative five-year contract with the Reds, following the successful completion of a £15 million deal between the two clubs.
Shortly before the official announcement, Elanga took to his Instagram to bid farewell to the United fans, posting a heartfelt goodbye letter.
The Sweden international said: “Making my debut, playing over 50 times for the first team, scoring in the Champions League and winning a trophy for this incredible club…. If you told me that all of that would happen when I arrived in England at 11 years old I would have been buzzing.
“There are so many players and staff that have played a major role in helping to make those dreams become a reality and supported me into developing into the man that I am today. I will be forever grateful to each and every one of you.
“From the moment that I watched a game from the Stretford End as a young boy I’ve known that United fans are special. We’ll always have ‘Rhythm is a dancer’. It meant the world to me and my family every time that we heard that chant. There are not enough words to properly thank you for the unbelievable support.
“It is the right time now for the perfect next step in my career. I’m someone who lives for football and I need to be on the pitch every week doing what I love.
“I’m 100% ready to get started, excited for what comes next and as determined as ever to succeed! Thankyou Manchester United.”
