Tahith Chong looks set to leave Manchester United at the end of the season after his agent acknowledged the winger thinks he can go no further at Old Trafford.
Chong joined United from Feyenoord in 2016 and quickly established himself in the club's academy before a serious knee injury forced him into a lengthy absence.
He continued to develop well after his return and made the step up to United's Under-23s, putting him in a strong position when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho and promised to give the club's most talented youngsters plenty of opportunities.
But Chong has largely failed to impress when given chances in the United first-team and he has not agreed to a new contract at the club, with his deal expiring in less than six months.
The 20-year-old has managed just seven appearances in all competitions with United this season, with the Netherlands youth international starting four of those games.
Chong was hoping to make more of a breakthrough this season, after he made just four total appearances for United in the 2018-19 season.
Instead, Chong appears set for a move to Italy, and he could join former United team-mates Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez and Ashley Young with Inter.
Juventus and Inter have been strongly linked with him in recent weeks, and while his agent Erkan Alkan did not namedrop any clubs, he did hint a move is likely.
"He [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer] has different views on Tahith than the [club's] leadership," Alkan told Voetbal International.
"A coach thinks about himself, I think about my player. He has come to a point where he feels that he is not going any further. Then it's time to look further.
"Most importantly, the [next] club must have a good plan for him so that Tahith can develop further in a good environment."
Manchester United will face Burnley in a Premier League match on Wednesday, with a win taking the club to within three points of Chelsea in fourth place.
Solskjaer men will, however, have to make do without Marcus Rashford, with the club's leading scorer sidelined for at least six weeks with a double stress fracture in his back.

Exciting winger.. should be rotating with James on the right flank. He is speedy & keen to take on defender . Don’t understand why James is given chance but not him .

Idk what’s happening at Manchester United but their plans and idea is very baffling and I’m sure they are starting to lose a few fans around the world

As a player in any position, you need a few games to get that confidence and rhythm going. Look at how Fred took to get in his stride after a string of games. I believe that if we want to see the best of Chong, we should do the same, but we have a fool of a manager and its too late.
Ole should play to win games sir. If he play s to massage each and every players' ego, we will be position 20 on the table. Williams and Greenwood got single chances and they made the best of the opportunity. Look what happened... if Chong had shown class like Williams, he too would be playing every game while Fred warms the bench. But he didn't. He only has himself to blame

What would the fans say if Ole lost a game in which he benched Mctominay and played Chong??

Chong's Agent Is Just Like Pogba's Agent.., 2️⃣ Of A Kind. Blaming On United Rather Than Themselves. Solskjaer Has Given Chong Enough Chances In The First Place And Yet Chong Failed Miserably.., Showed Nothing.., ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Chong Can Leave Anytime He Wants To Further His Sorry Career. Guess What?! We Don't Even Know He Has Left The House.., Nothing We Will Be Missing From Him. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

He should go to a place where he can have more games time.. he didn't do anything when given chances by Ole..So no need to waste time..

No player is above the club, if he feels United is not the place for him he can leave, there are players like Ramazani who are willing to stay and fight for thier place. Old Trafford is not for quitters who want to be wooed and massaged into staying.
