Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga is tipping one former teammate at Manchester United for big things.

Elanga is convinced Kobbie Mainoo can make at Old Trafford.

He told the Daily Mail: "I have to say Marcus Rashford is the best I have played with. He has got everything, speed, skill, shot, finishing, the way he played last season was amazing. Off the field he is top, he helped me a lot coming through.

"Kobbie Mainoo [is the next big academy star]. He is one of my close guys that I still speak to at United and I believe he is next the top one, his talent is unreal.

"He has got everything and I just hope United can look after him really well and let him flourish. He is a top player.

"When I played with him in the academy I always thought he had similar attributes to Paul Pogba. They are not the same player but just the way he moves and they can both do everything, defensive, offensive, he has a mixture of everything and is really good on and off the ball."
