Man Utd striker Chong ready for Europa League opportunities

Tahith Chong says he needs to grasp his opportunities in the Europa League.

The teenage striker came on as a substitute in Saturday's win over Leicester City.

United will face Astana on Thursday and Chong will be ready.

"When Ole Solskjaer took over, the young players were lifted," Chong told the Mirror. "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.

"But 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."
