Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has called on his underperforming players to follow the lead of teenager Anthony Elanga.
The 19-year-old came off the bench to score a crucial equaliser against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night, despite a disappointing display from United in general.
Speaking to BT Sport after the 1-1 draw at the Wanda Metropolitano, Rangnick revealed how impressed he's been by the fearless attitude of the academy graduate.
"He is playing as though it is a dream come true, it is a joy and fun to watch him play, I wish a few other players would take him as an example and as a role model," said Rangnick.
"Anthony, in all the games that he has played so far, just shows that he's playing with all the passion, all the fun and all the joy.
"He's just enjoying himself on the pitch and he's fully aware of his strengths, his assets, his weapons. He's always trying to play and show those weapons. This is what he did again today.
"Not only the goal he scored, he had two or three great runs and whenever he did that you could all of a sudden see that Atletico had problems with this kind of approach. But we have to show that on other positions as well, so not only with Anthony Elanga or one or two other players.
"We just have to play like that on every single position and if we want to proceed to the quarter-finals in a couple of weeks at Old Trafford we have to play exactly like that."
Elanga levelled the scoreline in the 80th minute, just five minutes after replacing Marcus Rashford.
Joao Felix opened the scoring for the home side, powering a fine header past David de Gea in the seventh minute.
The second leg of the last 16 encounter will take place at Old Trafford on March 15.
