Tahith Chong proud to be named Man Utd Young Player of the Year

Tahith Chong has been named Manchester United's Young Player of the Year.

Chong won the Jimmy Murphy Youth-Team Player of the Year award after a stellar campaign across United's younger age groups.

"I think it's the dream of everyone in this room to play in the first team," he said. "But obviously we're still focused. We're still working hard to get there. That's the dream.

"I think we had the chance to celebrate [the title] but now the focus is on Chelsea this Saturday."

Chong beat off competition from fellow contenders Lee O'Connor, who was second, and third-placed James Garner to secure the trophy won last year by his friend Angel Gomes.
