Manchester United young winger Tahith Chong could be loaned out by the Red Devils, with PSV Eindhoven interested in bringing back the youngster to the Netherlands.
The 19-year-old made his senior debut last season, and has been involved a few times this season for the Red Devils’ senior team.
As per The Sun, Chong is a target for PSV in January, who want to take him on loan. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not interested in selling the youngster, but he could allow Chong to leave the club on loan.
Chong joined United in 2016 from Dutch side Feyenoord and went on to play for the U18s and the U23s, before earning a call-up to the senior squad last season. He won the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year in his first season at the club, and the following season the Denzil Haroun Reserve Player of the Year award.
The youngster has played three times so far this season, earning two starts against Astana in the Europa League, and against Rochdale in the League Cup.
Should Manchester United let Chong leave on loan?
Chong is a highly-rated attacker at Manchester United, having impressed for both the U18 side as well as the U23 side.
The winger hasn’t made a very big impression in the senior side yet and will probably take a while to settle into the team.
Solskjaer should allow Chong to leave on loan as the youngster may find opportunities hard to come by this season.
With United looking to invest in new players in January, Chong’s chances in the side, even in Europa League and cup matches may be limited. The return of the likes of Anthony Martial to the United squad will also push Chong further down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
The youngster has looked off pace and found it tough so far in senior football. He will need time to develop as he is just 19 years of age and has not had a full season of senior football. Heading back to the comforts of his country could possibly help him progress.
