Chong reveals steep learning curve for Man Utd youngsters

Manchester United teenager Tahith Chong admits he has taken his time to adjust to the intensity of first-team training.

The 18-year-old added that the experience of training and playing for the first team - he has made four appearances - has helped him develop as a player.

"All of us really, just there now, are having a lot of learning curves and are gaining a lot of experience up to now," he said.

"It has been amazing really and, just thinking about it, being a first-team player, is something you dream about. The younger lads coming up as well, so it's really good.

"Training is a different level as well now. Definitely, the training and the games are tougher, stuff like that, as you progress, but you keep training and keep playing games and you'll get there.

"You start getting used to the tempo to the game and, like I've said, it's been a good experience for us."
