Man Utd chief Butt welcomes 'electric' Tahith Chong comeback

Manchester United academy chief Nicky Butt is happy to see Tahith Chong back fully fit.

The Dutch youngster was back for their UEFA Youth League win over CSKA Moscow.

Butt told MUTV: "I thought Tahith was electric in the first half, he told MUTV. Particularly as he's been out a long time. He's exciting and a player we've always had over the years at Manchester United - an attacking player who likes to dribble with the ball and take people on.

"We've got to be careful with him as he's only been back a few weeks but it's now his third game after the long injury and we need to maintain his fitness and steadily get him up to 90 minutes. This was a step towards his recovery now."
