Solskjaer tips Chong for 'bright future' after penning Man Utd contract

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he was always confident Tahith Chong would stay at the club.

Chong, 20, penned a new two-year contract with United on Monday.

Inter Milan and Juventus had shown an interest in the forward, but Solskjaer says Chong has a bright future at Old Trafford.

The United manager said: "Tahith works extremely hard every day and he is constantly improving. His performances this season, whether for the first team or Under-23s, are testament to his hard work, dedication and to his character.

"We are pleased with the progress he has made since he stepped up from the academy and are looking forward to continuing to develop his talent. Tahith has great potential; given his age, ability and work-ethic, we can see that he has a bright future at Manchester United."
