Manchester United's Victor Lindelof sends message to Anthony Elanga after Sweden debut

Victor Lindelof has congratulated Anthony Elanga after the Manchester United duo shared the pitch representing Sweden.

Elanga has enjoyed a stellar few months after making an impression on Ralf Rangnick since the interim boss' arrival. The academy graduate has made the breakthrough to United's first team and his performances have been recognised by Sweden.

Elanga has represented Sweden throughout various different youth levels, but he received his first call-up to the senior side for this international break alongside fellow countryman and United centre-back Lindelof. Sweden beat the Czech Republic 1-0 in a World Cup Qualifier on Thursday night and Lindelof played the full 120 minutes, while Elanga was handed his Sweden debut.

Elanga entered the pitch deep into extra-time for a short cameo but he still looked delighted to have that opportunity. Lindelof shared an image with a beaming Elanga after the game in the Sweden dressing room.

"Congratulations on the debut brother," Lindelof wrote. "So happy for you."

United are next in action against Leicester on Saturday 2 April at Old Trafford.
