Tahith Chong explains why he believes Erik ten Hag will succeed at Manchester United

Former Manchester United winger Tahith Chong is backing Erik ten Hag to bring success back to Old Trafford following his recent move to Birmingham City.

Chong, who spent last season on loan at St Andrew's, returned to the Championship club on transfer deadline day, this time on a permanent deal. He put pen to paper on a four-year deal in a move worth £1.5million.

It brought the winger's six-year stay at Old Trafford to a close, with first-team opportunities unlikely to be forthcoming under Ten Hag. Chong, who turns 23 in December, made just 19 first-team appearances for United prior to Ten Hag's appointment in May.
