Tahith Chong is one of the many promising Manchester United youth academy products who are expected to play a role for the senior side in the ongoing season. A fleet-footed winger endowed with pace and trickery, Chong impressed during the pre-season and now his agent has revealed that the 19-year-old does not want to leave on loan.

Instead, the Dutchman wants to kick on at Manchester United and fight for his place in the side. Erkan Alkan, Chong's agent, said:

"Tahith does not want to be loaned, but [he wants] to fight for his chance at Manchester United."

"Top clubs from the Bundesliga and La Liga also have him in sight. He has done a strong preparation [for the season], in which he has proven to be one of the better attackers of United."
