Man Utd winger Chong fighting to win back Werder Bremen place

Manchester United winger Tahith Chong is fighting to win back his place at loan club Werder Bremen.

Chong started for Bremen in a 4-1 defeat against Hertha Berlin on the first day of the season but has had to settle for a place on the bench in the subsequent three matches.

The youngster was reintroduced to the starting XI for Bremen's 4-1 over FC St. Pauli in a friendly on Wednesday and repaid manager Florian Kohfeldt with a well taken brace.

He said afterwards: “It's always nice to score, especially as an attacker, but I've already said plenty of times that I can't score without my teammates.

“For the second goal, Maxi's pass left me completely free – they all make it really easy for me.

“Obviously I would prefer to start matches, but I will still give it my all when coming off the bench. I'm a really patient guy and I will try to keep improving and helping the team."
