Manchester United are reportedly close to signing 16-year-old wonderkid Tahith Chong from Feyenoord.

The Daily Mail is reporting Chong caught the eye of United's academy scouts while playing for the Dutch side in the Premier Cup tournament held at the Red Devils' Carrington training base.

It is understood Chong, who can play up front, on the left or in midfield, has decided to make the move to Old Trafford, despite interest from United's Premier League rivals Chelsea.

Chong has already represented the Netherlands at youth level and is touted as one of the best prospects current at Feyenoord's fabled youth academy.
