Nottingham Forest star Anthony Elanga has warned his teammates against Manchester United talent Kobbie Mainoo.
A quarterfinal berth for the Reds is at stake when the two clubs play in the FA Cup today.
Elanga gushed about the gifted young player in an interview with The Times prior to tonight’s game.
Thus, what has Forest’s Elanga revealed regarding United’s Mainoo? Let us examine this more closely.
What Forest star Anthony Elanga has said about Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo
It seems that Mainoo’s ascent has not come as a surprise to Elanga, since he has made the current campaign a personal breakthrough.
The young player is currently one of Erik ten Hag’s best players, and it appears that he will start tonight against Forest.
This season, Elanga has experienced his own comeback, despite having to bid a fond farewell to United and relocate to Forest to do it.
The 21-year-old has been questioned about Mainoo ahead of tonight’s game, and it seems that he has nothing but positive things to say about him.
He stated to The Times, “I just want him to keep doing what he’s doing because the sky is the limit for him. He’s an amazing player and a top person.”
“I’m not shocked in the least. When I was playing with him in the Youth League programme for the Under-19s, I witnessed it.
“Those with a keen eye will notice that he plays similarly to how he did in the academy. He has obviously had to adjust, but his playing approach remains the same.
Forest will have to keep Mainoo at close quarters
Forest has a player in Elanga who is eager to advance in his career and make a statement.
Still, it should go without saying that limiting Mainoo is the best way for Forest to win tonight.
He has played a key role in United’s recent 4-3 victory over Wolves and has been in excellent form for the team this season.
Elanga will undoubtedly be bothering his Forest teammates, so let’s hope the teenage player doesn’t give the Reds too much trouble this evening.
