Mourinho hails Man Utd youngster Chong after impressive pre-season cameo

The Red Devils boss wants the highly rated winger to train with the first team as much as possible in order to aid his development

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has hailed Tahith Chong after the youngster impressed during his side's 1-1 draw with Club America in pre-season.

The 18-year-old came off the bench to play a key role in Juan Mata's equaliser in Phoenix as the Red Devils started their preparations for the upcoming Premier League season.

Chong, who was named as the club's young player of the year last season, put in a teasing cross which was initially met by Ander Herrera before Mata found the back of the net for Mourinho's side.
