Nationality: Dutch

Netherlands is seriously producing world-class talents these days and Tahith Chong is one of them. The talented 17-year-old has shown potential to make the cut as a top-notch footballer in the future.

Manchester United signed the left-footed winger in summer 2016 from Feyenoord after beating a host of rivals to his signature. He is yet to make his debut in professional soccer for both club and country.

Chong plays as a number 7 for United's U-19s and is capable of operating on either of the wings. At times, he can also be deployed as a striker. Pace is the most crucial attribute residing in Chong's bracket of skills. Also, he has been endowed with good vision albeit there is room for improvement.

Manchester United have an absolute gem with the Dutchman playing in their youth ranks. No doubt the Red Devils will polish him and transform him into an elite player in the future.
