Manchester United winger Tahith Chong has made a positive start to life on loan with Werder Bremen.

After an eye-catching pre-season, the 20-year-old scored a superb solo goal in the DFB-Pokal first-round win over Carl Jeiss Zena. It helped earned him a Bundesliga bow as he started the defeat to Hertha Berlin at the weekend.

As he settles in to his new surroundings, Chong spoke to Bundesliga.com about his ambitions and was asked about being called the 'Curacao Arjen Robben' after being born on the Caribbean island.

“I think it’s a big honour,“ he replied. ”Obviously, Arjen Robben is a big, big player. When I used to be small, I used to look up to him and liked his game.
