Speaking during the interview, the youngster, who is seen as one of the most promising talents in the world of football, said:
''It was my intention to stay at Feyenoord, but no plan was made for me.
''When I said I wanted to leave, they made a plan. That was too late.
''At Manchester United I had a better feeling.
''You can feel it immediately when you walk in a club.’'
Chong plays as an attacking midfielder or winger. He is expected to join the Manchester United youth team and grow through the ranks to hopefully feature in the senior team. However, the English giants have not yet confirmed signing the ‘young Fellaini’ as many Man United fans have already dubbed him.
