Tahith Chong’s agent Erkan Alkan has appeared to confirm that Chong will be signing a contract extension with Manchester United.

The young Dutch attacker’s contract with the Red Devils is set to expire at the end of this season and this has led to a host of clubs showing an interest in signing him.

Inter, Juventus and Barcelona have all been linked with a move for the highly rated youngster, who joined his current employers from Feyenoord in the Summer of 2018.

In an interview with British news outlet The Daily Mirror, Alkan has admitted that there has been plenty of interest elsewhere but his client has been convinced to remain with the Old Trafford club due to their plan for him.

“There was a lot of interest, we talked to big clubs, but Manchester United came up with a good plan for Tahith. He likes to stay with the club that brought him from the Netherlands,” he explained.

This season Chong has made 10 appearances across all competitions at first team level, during which time he has managed to provide a single assist for his teammates.
