By now, everyone knows Tahith Chong. The shaggy hair and athletic-natured youngster was signed from Dutch side Feyenoord in July 2017 where he was rated as one of Europe's hottest properties.

In his first season with U-18 he scored a stunner against Southampton at Old Trafford which was unfortunately club's only goal in FA Youth Cup defeat. The Dutchman plays mainly as a right winger with his thunderstorm pace. His incredible form with U-18 in UEFA Youth leauge gave him a chance to shine for U-23 where he is a regular now. He won the Jimmy Murphy Player of the season award in 2018 beating the competition from James Garner and Lee O'Connor.

He is blessed with high hitting pace and is known for his determination, aggression, and agility.

With United fans screaming for a perfect right winger, he could be the answer.
