Tahith Chong: 'Manchester United want to sign me'

Feyenoord youngster Tahith Chong has claimed that Manchester United have expressed an interest in signing him.

It has been rumoured that the 16-year-old came to the Premier League club's attention during a youth tournament that was held at United's Carrington training ground last August.

However, despite supposedly having an offer on the table from the Red Devils, the striker has revealed that he has no intention of moving to Old Trafford.

"Feyenoord is and remains my first choice and we are still negotiating," Chong told Fr12.nl.

"It's true that Manchester United are interested in me, but I want to just stay at Feyenoord. There is absolutely no question that I'm going out to the club.

"Feyenoord now is come up with a plan of how they see me in the coming years at the club. I am hopeful that it will be all right and that I'm going to sign a contract with Feyenoord."

Chong has been capped by the Netherlands at Under-17 level.
