Manchester United 1-0 Kristiansund: 5 players who won the game for the Red Devils

#3 Tahith Chong

Chong impressed after coming off the bench

Tahith Chong started the game from the bench and was introduced in the 60th minute when Solskjaer decided to change his entire first XI. The Dutchman immediately made an impact, joining forces with the new United attack and forcing a save from a long shot.

That was just a sign of things to come.

Chong’s entry into the field added a spark to the United attack which was missing in the first half. The youngster was lively and ran at the opposition with intent. In fact, Kristiansund took quite some time to get used to him, and Chong never allowed them to settle.

The Dutchman continued to have his say in the game, impressing from the left and attempting to carve out openings for his team. His movement in and around the box was sharp and he forced the goalkeeper into a couple of saves.

In a game where Daniel James failed to find a footing, Chong showed Solskjaer that the Norwegian does have a few more options for the wings.
