Manchester United winger Tahith Chong is close to agreeing a deal to join Bundesliga club Werder Bremen on a season-long loan.
Sky Sports News revealed earlier this month that United were open to allowing the 20-year-old academy product to leave the club on loan next season.
Chong, who signed a new contract in March which runs until the summer of 2022, made his first appearance since the Premier League's restart in June as a substitute in the 2-1 victory against LASK Linz earlier this month.
Bremen, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, are likely to rely on loan signings this summer because of their financial position.
Bremen sporting director Frank Baumann admitted earlier this month that the club had potential interest in signing Chong, who made 13 first-team appearances for United during the protracted 2019/20 season.
"He plays with great speed and his profile fits," Baumann said. "Because of our situation, he is a player who could be interesting."

chong is way better than James!!!!! let's get this straight, all James has is pace, he can't, shoot, dribble, pass, cross.....etc. I don't know why he's been given so much opportunity
Thank God am not alone. if we want build a strong team then our forwards must have that X Factor which James lacks, all he kws how to do is run which is not enough.

A loan move would be really good for Chong, even Garner

chong is one classic academy product I like, I think he just has the football in his blood, his main problem at United has been game time,, had he been given that deserved game time he deserves, by now chong would be a first team regular, but I still believe if chong gets first team opportunities where he is going, come next season he will be around United's first team selection
