Three goals in 18 appearances for United this campaign have earned the 19-year-old a maiden call-up to the Sweden senior squad.
And in doing to England’s hopes of luring Elanga to represent the Three Lions have been dashed.
The winger is eligible for England duty having moved to the UK aged 12 to join United.
But after representing Sweden at youth level, he has now been rewarded with a place in the senior squad.
National team coach Janne Andersson said: “We have followed Anthony closely and he has made a positive impression both in the under-21 national team and in the club team.
“We have had some contact recently and it will be fun to get him in.”
The youngster has scored an impressive seven goals in just eight games for Sweden U21’s.
He’s also been capped at U17 and U19 level.
