In a recent interview, the 20-year-old admits that former Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick used him on his less preferred flank, adding that he can play even better on the left.
Elanga had his breakthrough year at Old Trafford and he owes a lot to Rangnick, for having so much faith in him.
The Swedish international played 21 times in the Premier League last season, scoring two goals and two assists for United and his performances even gained him a catchy new song amongst Man United supporters.
Elanga was used predominately in the right-wing position by Rangnick but the 20-year-old has now claimed that he is better on the left side after being used in that position by Sweden in a recent match with Norway.
The United youngster was speaking about playing in the position to Fotbollskanalen and stated: “It suits me very well.

“With United I play a lot on the right but now I get the chance to play on the left, that is my favourite position.
“I can do more there. I can go both into the pitch and on the outside.”
It’s important to point out that Elanga isn’t complaining about his role at United last season.
We’re sure he is delighted with the minutes he got as United ranked second in the Premier League charts for most minutes given to teenage players.
Let us know if you think Elanga will get as many minutes under Erik ten Hag next season?
