Bruno Fernandes' message to Anthony Elanga after Manchester United departure

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes led the well wishes to Anthony Elanga after he joined Nottingham Forest on a permanent deal this week.

Elanga was transfer listed by manager Erik ten Hag at the end of last season as he looked to drum up funds for this summer. MEN Sport understands the Reds halved his valuation to £10m in an attempt to entice clubs to come in for the forward.

It is understood a fee pf £15million was agreedwith the East Midlands club for the Swedish winger. During his time at Old Trafford, the 22-year-old made 55 appearances for the club grabbing four goals and four assists, breaking through when Ralf Rangnick arrived in Manchester.

Unfortunately for the Swede, his chances at the Theatre of Dreams diminished under Ten Hag as Antony was brought in and Alejandro Garnacho stepped up last season. However, his impact among the United squad was felt with many current players wishing him well on Instagram.

Leading the way was Fernandes who posted on his story: "All the best kid," accompanied with a red love heart emoji. Another notable person to respond in the comments section was Dean Henderson who spent last season on loan at the City Ground and is a player of interest for Steve Cooper's team again.

He replied: "What a club! Let's go," accompanied with a red love heart. Young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo posted: "Shine bro," while Anthony Martial posted: "My brother."

Real Madrid's new signing Jude Bellingham also congratulated Elanga as Marcus Rashford simply wrote: "My guy," accompanied with a red love heart."
