Introduction: Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag is looking to make some changes in the January transfer window, with some youngsters from the academy looking to go out on loan, and some secondary members of the first team desperate for regular game time. One of those players is Anthony Elanga, who has been struggling to replicate the form he showed in his breakthrough season last season. Everton are in talks to sign Elanga on loan, as they have been struggling to find the back of the net this season. Elanga is said to be frustrated at the lack of opportunities under Ten Hage this season, and a loan move could be the best solution for both parties. Football Insider has reported that Everton are working on a deal to sign Elanga until the end of the season, and the decision is expected to be made in the next few days.
In addition to arrivals, Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag should also give the go-ahead for some spending in the January transfer window.

One of them is Anthony Elanga. The young Swede is struggling to replicate the form he showed in his breakthrough season last season.
Loan decision: Elanga or Pellistri
The Dutchman needed an attacking boost in January following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and he got his wish in the form of new signing Vout Weghorst.
But with the continued absence of Jaden Sancho, it is necessary to keep some attacking players in the squad, given that the team is still competing on four fronts.
Facundo Pellistri, who made his debut in the League Cup quarter-final against Charlton Athletic, is also looking for either core minutes or the chance to leave and play more.

Everton are in talks for Elanga
The Caramels have struggled to find the back of the net this season, with only Wolves and Nottingham Forest scoring fewer than Everton’s 13 goals this season.
Given Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s ongoing fitness issues, Elanga has been earmarked as someone who could potentially come in and help the team avoid a relegation battle.
Elanga is said to be frustrated at the lack of opportunities under Ten Hage this season, having made just seven starts this campaign so far.
