Man United winger Chong makes season-long loan move to German club

The 20-year-old Dutchman is set for a spell with Werder Bremen.

LAST UPDATE | 16 Aug 2020

MANCHESTER UNITED WINGER Tahith Chong has joined up with Werder Bremen’s pre-season training camp in Austria after agreeing a loan move to the Bundesliga club.

The Holland U21 international only signed a new contract at Old Trafford in March, which keeps him contracted to United until June 2022, with the option to extend the deal by a further year.

Chong first moved to England four years ago from Feyenoord and has progressed to the fringes of the first team, but is set to spend the upcoming campaign in Germany.

“Manchester United winger Tahith Chong, a product of the club’s fabled Academy, is set to gain valuable first-team experience in the forthcoming new season by joining Werder Bremen on loan,” a United statement reads.

“The talented 20-year-old will spend the full 2020/21 campaign in Germany, and could make his competitive debut in a month’s time with the Bundesliga due to begin on 18 September.”

Bremen are out in Zillerdeich for a pre-season training camp ahead of the new Bundesliga campaign, which is due to begin on 18 September.

Florian Kohfeldt’s side finished 16th last season and stayed up after a relegation play-off with Heidenheim, surviving only thanks to the away goal rule.
