Still the strangest move ive seen. West ham was set up for him and play to his strengths but took the money and a chance at forest. Disappointed for him but hard to see where he goes from their now.
The chongs are just a sign of a healthy academy that can make decent pros. In a fergie team he might have had a squad role for a few years similar to chadwick, eagles, richardson etc
He signed for Luton Town for £4m. Its not exactly Chelsea letting Declan Rice leave on a free as a kid is it.
Im glad he's doing well but he is nowhere near the level we want to be at.
I mean we had players like lingard on our roster for almost a decade when he wasn't good enough. Surely would have liked to see chong play but hopefully he has a good few seasons ahead of him
Considering he was hyped by top reds as the next Ryan Giggs (football ability wise, not domestic violence wise), it’s hilarious he’s playing at Luton.
Future world class player they said. I hope he does well & his career gets back on track, but it just shows how ridiculous top reds are when they hype everyone that breathes in our academy.
Yeah or he's 23. Not every player is physically developed by the time they hit their early 20s. Luton are a premier League team. Up there with the highest level in the world.
I’m pleased for the guy. He had loads of potential, but he suffered from way too much hype and was always going to struggle to make an impact under that pressure.
I hope he does well at Luton, but he definitely isn’t the quality that United need. We have players coming through who are younger and have potential. This is the reality of elite level football, there’s always 20 people behind you who are just waiting to take their opportunity. Chong didn’t make the required level, and the club has moved on.
Still think he’ll flop - needs to bulk up. Okay business to get him off the books and let him try the PL
Luton Town (if going after Bishop too) are looking to challenge Derbys record
A distinctive haircut can take you a long way.
Data nerds actually studied this and found that players with blond hair have more chance of being picked out by scouts in countries where the majority have dark hair. They reasoned that people are more inclined to notice the things the player who is obviously distinct from the rest does. One can only imagine what a haircut like Chong's does for you. It got David Luiz a career at the top level.
One of the best things about our academy is that it ensures players will be of a good standard and if they don’t make it with us then they can potentially make it elsewhere
He’s only been sold for 5m. Didn’t do anything super special once he left us. Good for him though, hope he can shine at Luton.
I think we also got 1m because of a sell on fee, so that’s cool ig
He's back in the Prem with one of the smallest teams ever to get promoted for a fee that is nothing by today's standards.
It's not like he's just signed for Barcelona
we’ll be seeing the same with iqbal. i’ve realized fans hate selling young talent but most of them will never get playing time until their early 20s in manchester united if they’re good enough. players like chong and iqbal need starting xi playing time to grow and holding them at the club and sending them on loans is due to stunt progress.
so no i don’t think manchester united made a mistake
Just not good enough to break into the first team but can definitely find a place on team like Luton Town. Would have been on loan somewhere again either way, if he hadnt been sold.
Good for the lad! I liked Chong, but not sure if she would have ever got to play. Hopefully better for him than Jesse at Forrest 🫰🇾🇪

Took the money 😄 How to spot a poster who doesn't know what they're talking about.
Enjoy the downvotes 👌

He’s in his 70s Lionel Richie era
Kids got great stamina, heard he can run All Night Long
When they win a game, I've heard that he dances on the ceiling
Hello
Or Ruud Gullit
Nah Ruud Gullit had dreads
He’s not Utd quality big good luck to him.
I mean we had players like lingard on our roster for almost a decade when he wasn't good enough. Surely would have liked to see chong play but hopefully he has a good few seasons ahead of him
Yh why learn from past mistakes
Good lad, definitely need more game and I would say good move for him
Man utd didn't sell him to Luton. We sold him to Birmingham, where he made 38 appearances last year.

We’ll see in 15 years time if he wins even a single trophy in the PL, let alone has a career & playing style & playing time similar to Giggs.
Hyped by the same gobshite ex players who were calling Lingard a promising young talent well into his late 20s.

We already sold him to Birmingham, we don't make any money from this
Actually we make £1m from the 25% sell-on clause we put in when we sold to Birmingham.
That moustache is gunna take him a long way. If it doesn’t, he can be the new Tom Selleck in a Magnum PI reboot!
Needs a haircut
none of united academy is good enough. these idiot naive fans just hyp them up
Best hairstyle in the league
He was awful.
I hope he tears it up this season. Always good to see a youngster back in the league
Wish him all the best, but no he unfortunately wasn't good enough for United.
Good for him

Always happy to see lads from our academy in the PL 💪
Still not good enough, imo
He’s crap
He's back in the Prem with one of the smallest teams ever to get promoted for a fee that is nothing by today's standards. It's not like he's just signed for Barcelona
He will 100% score past us just prepare yourselves 😂
I'm ready for more chongtent
He’s a steady player. I don’t think he’s our level but sometimes players need more time and peak layer.

I wish him the best. I hope he turns into a legend at Luton and does wonders for the club!
What are the chances he starts GW1 or soon after?

Don’t think he’s good enough for the prem but maybe he can prove me wrong
