Immediately, the young lad came on board the game changed and Chong won the heart of many Manchester United fans.

Joe Mourinho was impressed himself as he applauded the young player for his level of confidence.

Some fans went on to say Tahith Chong could be the new Cristiano Ronaldo as they urge Mourinho to give him a ten years contract.

In another update, Mourinho stated that should Sanchez make it for the US Tour he will play.
