10 Manchester United academy stars who could make the first team this year

#3 Tahith Chong

Chong can play as a winger or a striker

Since the last season, Tahith Chong has been named as one of the most exciting Dutch talents. The 16-year-old was with Feyenoord since the age of 10 and moved to Manchester United earlier this season, just in time for the Under-18's first match against the Derby County Under-18 squad.

Chong has the ability to play on the wings, especially his favoured left flank, as well as play as a striker which gives the Under-18 coach, Kieran McKenna more options to put out his best possible side.

Although the Curacao-born youngster has not scored many goals, he has a hand in five goals. Chong bagged both assists in Man United's 2-1 win over Middlesbrough in the Under-18 fixture earlier this month, with one of them showing his scorching pace on the left flank.
