MANCHESTER, WILLEMSTAD – Curaçao born Tahith Chong looks back with satisfaction on his debut for Manchester United, on Saturday-afternoon in the FA Cup-game (2-0) against Reading.

"It was a special moment for me and I enjoyed it to the fullest," said the man who was named the talent of the year at Manchester United last year. "Trainer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told me that I had to have fun," said the young former Feyenoorder, who came in for Juan Mata after more than an hour.

"I worked hard to get here. Now that I have succeeded, I am quite proud. My parents were in the stands, I'm glad they were there. Everyone in the youth can see that you get the chance to grow to the first team. That will also motivate other players. "

Solskjaer: "He did two or three nice things and got the audience excited. In your first performance you do not immediately pull the game towards you as a 19-year-old, but in half an hour we have seen at times what he can do. Defensively, he did his job well," said the coach, who won his fifth win in a row as coach of Manchester United.
