He immediately made a big impact in the youth sides and has been highly rated ever since. He is one of the players tipped for a big future, alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/58eee997\/Mason-Greenwood\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mason Greenwood<\/a> and the recently departed <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/645a3363\/Angel-Gomes\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Angel Gomes.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 20-year-old winger made his senior debut in 2019 as he came off the bench in United&#8217;s FA Cup victory over Reading. Chong also featured in United&#8217;s famous <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/champions-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Champions League<\/a> victory over <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>. He came on for the final ten minutes in the dramatic comeback win.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being a highly rated starlet, Chong only has 15 senior appearances to his name. At 20-years-old, this is not promising, therefore, talk of a loan move is sensible.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Barnett, who also represents Real Madrid&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a58bb1e1\/Gareth-Bale\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gareth Bale<\/a>, spoke to\u00a0<em>Stretty News<\/em> about Chong&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe believes,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cWe all believe that he has a future there. I think he\u2019s a great talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut he needs to be playing games and if that means going out on loan then maybe that\u2019s something which we need to be talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Opportunity to Impress<\/h3>\n<p>If Chong was to leave on loan, he would have plenty of eyes on his performances. A young player with his reputation would not be short of interest. His ability to change a game with a piece of magic could prove vital for plenty of Championship clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not afraid of giving young players a chance to shine. This season has seen Mason Greenwood and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/5e74d6c8\/Brandon-Williams\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brandon Williams<\/a> given big roles in the first team. Chong will be keen to impress to force his way into the manager&#8217;s thinking.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a1d5bd30\/Marcus-Rashford\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marcus Rashford<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8b788c01\/Anthony-Martial\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthony Martial<\/a>, and Mason Greenwood are currently scoring for fun. However, if Chong manages to get regular first-team football, there is no reason why he cannot set his sights on one of their places, given his immense potential.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"W3As86KOT0980iSt1FVtEw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1211403711\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'W3As86KOT0980iSt1FVtEw',sig:'KaFAYYupHihcZ_DxELR5G80JSTOGZLeDL8uMSy2aIls=',w:'594px',h:'427px',items:'1211403711',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tahith Chong could leave Manchester United on a loan deal this summer.
