Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has blocked a loan move for Anthony Elanga to Everton due to the atmosphere at Goodison Park.

Frank Lampard was keen to take Elanga to Goodison Park for the rest of the season in a bid to boost his attacking options. Lampard is desperate to land reinforcements as he battles to save Everton from relegation this season.

But United boss Erik ten Hag is not willing to let Swedish international Elanga go to Everton, says the Daily Star. It's understood Ten Hag has concerns about what the current climate at Goodison Park might do to Elanga's development and progress.

The 20-year-old also remains part of Ten Hag's plans as United continue their unlikely assault on four trophies this season. The winger has made seven starts in 19 appearances in all competitions this season.

Danny Ings was also rumoured to have been on Everton's radar, with claims Aston Villa had rejected a loan deal. The former Liverpool and Southampton striker is now on the brink of agreeing on a move to West Ham.
