Tahith Chong has said he made the 'logical' choice by leaving Manchester United for Birmingham City.

The Dutch forward spent the second-half of last season at St. Andrews before returning on a permanent transfer this past summer.

"Of course, it's [United] one of the biggest clubs in the world but eventually you have to look at yourself as well in terms of your career, what you want to achieve," Chong told BirminghamLive.

"For me I got to the stage I am at an age where I want to play games. As a player you develop when you play games, you develop to an extent when you are training every day but at the end of the day your bread and butter is going to be games.

"If you are not getting that or you play once and then not again for four or five weeks, sometimes that's not enough.

"For me anyway it was a logical decision if I am not going to get game time here I need to get game time somewhere else. In terms of my career, you have goals and stuff you want to achieve and to do that you have to play games.

"I did the pre-season with United and speaking to my family, United themselves, I felt I wanted to get to a stage where I do that, you want to perform week in week out and keep developing as a player. We felt this was the right thing to do.

"Last season helped a lot, going back to a club [Birmingham] where you know everyone, what they want to do with the club. The manager [John Eustace] was new and I spoke to him as well before coming but the rest of the staff and players has kind of stayed the same.

"I didn't think he had to sell me over it that much. There were some other clubs but for us it was quite easy really."
