Birmingham City boss Lee Bowyer has explained taking Manchester United winger Tahith Chong on-loan.

Bowyer, who took United youngster Dylan Levitt on loan at Charlton last season, has now given his first thoughts on new signing Chong.

Bowyer said: "Manchester United were kind enough to trust us and to send such a good talent to us.

"My job is to now improve him and send him back a better player than what has arrived. I believe that we will do that, and I am excited to work with him.

“I think it will be a good challenge for him in the Championship. We all know what the Championship is like physically, but he is a good player and good players adapt."
