Youngster celebrates Old Trafford move: Poses with Manchester United shirt cake
TAHITH CHONG has celebrated his imminent move to Manchester United with a personalised Red Devils cake.
Tahith Chong is on his way to Manchester United
Last week, the 16-year-old appeared to confirm his exit from Feyenoord, changing the bio on his Instagram to ‘Future Player of Manchester United’.
Whilst there has been no official announcement, the young midfielder is set to join United’s academy, which will be run by former player Nicky Butt.
And ahead of his move, friends of the teenager celebrated by presenting Chong with a special cake.
In a photo posted on Instagram, Chong is looking down at a cake with his first name and the number 11.
"Thankyou guys for the great surprise yesterday love for you guys," he wrote.
Earlier this year, Chong explained his reasons behind the decision to join United.
"Here and at Arsenal, young players get their chance earlier than at Chelsea or at Manchester City," he said.
"United gave me a better feeling. You can feel it immediately when you walk in a club."
