Anthony Elanga admits he was 'starstruck' when he heard Cristiano Ronaldo would be returning to Manchester United and he can't wait to study every aspect of his game.
United officially confirmed the signing of Ronaldo earlier this week after they agreed a potential €23m deal with Juventus for his signature.
Ronaldo will re-join United on an initial two-year deal, with the option for a third, and could make his second debut for the club against Newcastle in the Premier League next weekend.
The Portuguese ace is already back in Manchester as he looks to settle down before returning to training next week, news which is filling his new teammates with excitement.
Teenage forward Elanga is one such player blown away by the prospect of training alongside Ronaldo on a daily basis and he can't wait to quiz the five-time Ballon d'Or winner on the secrets of his success.
“I was starstruck when I heard he was coming to United,” he told Fotbollskanalen.
“But I have calmed myself down a little now.
“I will be looking at everything with Ronaldo. How he does what he does, what he does before and after training. I’ll be asking the questions any other person would.
“He’s won everything with United and knows what it takes to play for the club. He’s a legend.
“I have heard he speaks a lot with young players and I look forward to meeting him.”
