Dutch starlet Tahith Chong has announced he's joined Manchester United .

The 16-year-old will join the academy this summer after leaving Feyenoord, where he has been part of the youth set up since he was 10 .

Chong, who can play up front or in midfield, is set to be the first of a number of foreign signings to join the academy this summer as academy chief Nicky Butt begins to settle into his new job.

Butt said in March: “We’re short on a few numbers in the different age groups and it’s something we need to address, something we are addressing and something we will hopefully get over the line in the next few weeks, in time for next season.

“It’s the same as any other club. We all want to attract the best young players in Europe, at whatever age, and we’re exactly the same."
