Tahith Chong has already decided not to extend his Manchester United contract beyond 2020, with interest from numerous clubs around Europe.

The 19-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and with just four Premier League appearances to his name, he is looking at options away from Old Trafford.

The Netherlands under-21 international has shown a lot of promise and has also made appearances in the Champions League, FA Cup and EFL Cup.

The teenage midfielder arrived at Manchester United from Feyenoord in 2016, leaving the Dutch club because, ‘no plan was made for me. When I said I wanted to leave, they made a plan. That was too late.’




It appears that he has now got a similar feeling at Old Trafford, with Italian publication CalcioMercato stating that he has already chosen not to renew his deal in Manchester, with Juventus interested in snapping him up on a free in the summer.

Chong said of his own future: ‘For me, all options are currently open. I have to focus on the season first, then I’ll see where my journey takes me.’

His agent, Erkan Alkan, also confirmed that there was interest, not just from Juventus, but also from Germany and Spain.

‘Tahith does not want to be loaned, but he wants to fight for his chance at Manchester United,’ Alkan told Voetbal International.

‘Top clubs from the Bundesliga and La Liga also have him in sight. He has done a strong preparation in which he has proven to be one of the better attackers of United.’

Earlier in the season, Chong spoke positively about the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager and spoke of his need to knuckle down and prove himself to the Norwegian.

‘When Ole Solskjaer took over, the young players were lifted,’ said the midfielder in September.

‘I felt I was dreaming when he gave me a chance in the game against PSG.

‘It’s something I dreamt about when I was a kid in the West Indies and I still have the picture in my mind when Marcus Rashford scored the crucial goal for 3-1 in injury-time.

‘At the end of the day it is all down to me. I have to deliver and grab every chance which the manager gives me.’

It now looks like he will be looking to grab those chances elsewhere.
