Manchester United's Anthony Elanga in action with Wolverhampton Wanderers' Rayan Ait-Nouri [Reuters, Andy Rain]A makeshift Manchester United side ended their Premier League campaign on a high as 19-year-old forward Anthony Elanga scored his first goal for the club in a 2-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday. "I promised that I would stay strong but it was very special and very emotional," the Portuguese told BT Sport. With Champions League qualification secured for second-placed United and Wednesday's Europa League final against Spanish side Villarreal looming, their boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rested his regular starters. Elanga made the most of the opportunity as he linked up with 18-year-old Amad Diallo up front and showed predatory instincts when he fired United ahead in the 13th minute. Very pleased for (Elanga) and he has a bright future ahead of him.
