Man Utd winger Tahith Chong admits first team struggles

Manchester United winger Tahith Chong says he's found the first team step up a tough experience.

The 19-year-old has since gained minutes playing in the Champions League, Premier League, Europa League and the FA Cup and feels he is constantly adapting to the demands expected of him at Old Trafford.

"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 told Manchester United's website.

"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."
