MANCHESTER UNITED wonderkid Anthony Elanga could be allowed to leave on loan if Ajax star Antony arrives, according to reports.

The Red Devils are edging closer to landing the winger with the transfer window less than a week away from closing.

And Antony’s transfer could trigger wider changes in the squad if his £84million deal is sealed.

Elanga has interest from Everton who are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements.

And the young Swedish talent could be set for a loan move to away based on the Antony deal, according to the Daily Mail.

This is despite the fact that he started Man United’s surprise win against Liverpool, and could have even opened the scoring when he hit the post at 0-0.

Elanga also came off the bench to replace Jadon Sancho in United’s previous games against Brighton and Brentford.

The Sun revealed earlier this week just how close United are to closing the deal for Antony.

The Brazilian winger is set to be signed in an eye-catching £84m deal as the Red Devils look to seal their long-term target.

Securing Antony was one of the main summer aims for new boss Erik ten Hag, who managed the 22-year-old while they were both at Ajax.

Reports suggests United may not be done with their spending either, with speculation growing they could make a late move for PSV striker Cody Gakpro.

If Elanga were to leave on loan after Antony’s arrival, he would be hoping to impress in his year away to stake a regular first team place at Old Trafford.

Elanga currently appears to be behind Marcus Rashford and Sancho in the United pecking order.

He started against Liverpool, but was replaced with Anthony Martial at half-time.

A move to Everton could suit the Swede, with the club needing a replacement for Richarlison and possibly Anthony Gordon.
