'United is one big family': Tahith Chong reveals Manchester United's 'togetherness' inspired him as a 16-year-old before his rise to first-team

Manchester United starlet Tahith Chong insists the 'togetherness' at Old Trafford inspired him as a 16-year-old prospect.

The Dutch under-21 international was plucked from Feyenoord's academy four years ago by United, and has since risen from the under-18 squad to making first-team appearances.

This season Chong has been one of the beneficiaries of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's faith in youth players, earning two Europa League starts amid 11 appearances for the first-team.
