Squad may be boosted for Bees clash
Jadon Sancho came on for Elanga in the second half and Ralf explained his selection choices are obviously taken on a game-by-game basis with the busy spell continuing. Following the midweek clash with the Bees, United welcome another London side, in-form West Ham United, to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
“Anthony did well,” added Rangnick. “He had two great opportunities to score but he showed what I expected him to show and showed me why I chose him to play.
“Look, we have so many games to play and I wasn’t thinking who is ahead of who [for that position]. My thinking was to play him [Elanga] from the start and, as I said, we have so many games coming up.”
Skipper Harry Maguire was fit enough to be on the bench after his recent lay-off but Aaron Wan-Bissaka was not in the squad, and Paul Pogba is still unavailable.
