Man Utd want to re-sign ‘special’ £43m PL star who Glazers sold alongside McTominay -Reports

Man Utd could look to re-sign Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga in the summer transfer window, according to reports.

The Red Devils are having a miserable season in the Premier League with their 1-0 loss at home to Wolves on Sunday their 15th defeat of campaign.

That loss leaves them 14th in the Premier League with previously relegation-threatened Wolves now level on points in 15th place.

Amazingly, Man Utd could still qualify for the Champions League if they can win the Europa League after their dramatic turnaround against Lyon in their quarter-final against Lyon on Thursday.

Despite having an awful season in general, Champions League football could be a game-changer for Man Utd in terms of players they can attract and the amount of money available for recruits.

Last week there were rumours that Scott McTominay, who has been called the Serie A signing of the season by one Italian newspaper, ‘could return’ to Old Trafford in the summer with Man Utd closely watching his performances.

McTominay, who joined Napoli for €30.5m (£25.7m) in the summer, scored his ninth goal of the season as Antonio Conte’s side went level on points with leaders Inter Milan over the weekend and now reports claim that Man Utd could target one of his former team-mates too.

Caught Offside insist that Man Utd ‘are one of the clubs keeping a close eye on’ on Nottingham Forest winger Elanga, who they sold to their Premier League rivals for £15m

The report adds: ‘Elanga is rapidly becoming one of Europe’s hottest young properties, with several elite clubs keeping close tabs on his progress
