According to reports from English newspapers, Manchester United and Chelsea are set to battle it out for Feyenoord academy playmaker Tahith Chong.

However, Chelsea are set to rival the Red Devils for Chong, who can play as an attacking midfielder or striker.
The 15-year old will celebrate his 16th birthday in January, when the winter transfer window will be open and United and Chelsea can try and make him part of their respective youth set-ups.
BUT it is believed the Manchester side are looking to beat Chelsea to Chong earlier than expected, rumours are circulating that he has held talks at Old Trafford and was even offered a trial.
