Elanga Upsets Fans by Commenting on Oyedele's Departure from Man Utd
- Former Man Utd player Anthony Elanga upset fans by commenting on Maxi Oyedele's departure from the club.
- Elanga implied that Oyedele 'dodged a bullet' by leaving Old Trafford, causing backlash among supporters.
- The incident highlights the sensitivity of player departures and fan loyalty in the world of football.
In an emotional farewell, 19-year-old midfielder Oyedele announced his departure from Manchester United, expressing gratitude for the club that has been his home since childhood. In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Oyedele thanked the coaches, staff, and fans, stating, "I will never forget the memories I have made at this club." He emphasized his readiness to embark on the next chapter of his career while wishing the best for everyone at United. The departure sparked mixed reactions among fans, particularly regarding the response from fellow player Anthony Elanga. Elanga, who recently transferred to Nottingham Forest, replied to Oyedele's post with a gif from "The Matrix," which some fans interpreted as a dismissive take on Oyedele's exit. This led to criticism from supporters who felt Elanga's time at United was underwhelming, with one fan remarking that "the best thing about Elanga was his song." Elanga, addressing speculation about his own departure, clarified that manager Erik ten Hag was not the reason for his exit. He expressed a desire to play regularly rather than sit on the bench, stating, "When you're young, you want to play, you want to make mistakes, you want to take risks." Since joining Nottingham Forest for £15 million, Elanga has established himself as a key player, scoring five goals and providing nine assists in 40 appearances.
