Tahith Chong: I'm trying to learn from Man Utd stars Rashford, Martial

Tahith Chong admits he's modeling his game on senior Manchester United teammates Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.

Chong has tried to 'absorb as much I can' from training with Martial and Rashford to help him fulfil his United dream.

“Like any young player, my goal is to get into the first team. It's hard work to get there and that's what I have to do," he told Maisfutebol.

“At 18, being able to be a part of such a tour was an incredible experience. I had the chance to play with the first team and had players around me trying to help me. My focus was just on learning from them.

“I'm living the dream. All over the world there are kids who have the ambition to play for United and being there makes me thankful and keen to work as hard as possible.

“I'm training with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial and when I train with them, I try to absorb as much as I can because they are world-class players. The best I can do is try to learn from them."
