Manchester United set to beat Chelsea to winger signing
MANCHESTER UNITED are set to beat Chelsea to the signing of Feyenoord youngster Tahith Chong, according to reports.
Tahith Chong impressed scouts at a youth tournament at Man Utd's training ground
The 16-year-old has been pursued by both the Blues and United over recent months.
He initially came to the attention of United scouts while playing for Feyenoord at the Premier Cup tournament which was held at United’s Carrington training complex in August.
The Red Devils subsequently invited him for a trial, and the Dutchman's talents were also spotted by Chelsea.
