In 55 appearances for the Manchester United first team, Elanga has scored four goals and registered four assists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As for when the transfer will cross the finish line,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Romano<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> reports that Elanga to Nottingham Forest will be completed by the end of the week. A fee close to \u00a315 million has been agreed between the two clubs while the player himself has given the &#8220;green light&#8221;, resulting in Romano giving his coveted &#8220;here we go&#8221; on the move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/07\/22\/manchester-united-transfer-boost-hojlund\/\" target=\"_self\">\u2018Probable Farewell\u2019 &#8211; Manchester United Closing In on \u00a361M Star<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nottingham Forest Eyeing Another Manchester United Player<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Elanga isn&#8217;t the only player Forest wants to grab from Old Trafford: they are also linked with a potential move for goalkeeper Dean Henderson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1682376813148884992\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Romano<\/a> reports that a move for the shot-stopper would be different to that for Elanga.
