He plans to leave Old Trafford behind forever after an impressive loan spell at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>However, in order to put that move on one side, Newcastle is interested in adding Nottingham Forest ace Anthony Elanga to camp this summer, shock exchanges are even potentially signed on the cards.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, the report states that by &#8220;increasing interest&#8221; in the winger, the procedure can be smoothed out to Harvey Burns for Forest.<\/p>\n<p>Including it in Barnes&#8217; deal would cut the \u00a350 million valuation of the former Manchester United Forward price tag.<\/p>\n<p>Elanga might also try to switch over the appeal of Champions League football.

Last season, this incredible breakaway goal left him with many United shirts in the dust, punishing his former employer with even more clinical finishing.<\/p>\n<p>For good measure he was one of the fastest players in English football&#8217;s top flight last season.<\/p>\n<p>Behind this counterattack magic, Elanga justly described himself as &#8220;one of the fastest players in PL&#8221;, and frequently backed up the outstanding Swedes that are often not meaningful strikes or assists.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"center\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Elanga&#8217;sPL Numbers (24\/25) vs Rashford&#8217;s (24\/25)<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>statistics<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Field<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Rashford<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>The game has been played<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>38<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>twenty five<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>The goal scored<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>assist<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>I missed a big opportunity<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>A big opportunity has been created<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>9<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Statistics based on sofa score<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Rashford shined from Old Trafford last season in Villa&#8217;s temporary book, but it&#8217;s clear that Elanga is a better pick, with the 5-foot-10 winger signing up for the nine of Rashford last season with a much greater goal contribution than the United outcast.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to that, Elanga has added 14 more goals, helping to wear forest reds from previous seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, unlike Rashford, which is primarily the left winger, Forest Speedster can offer howe either Frank&#8217;s option if necessary.
