MANCHESTER UNITED youngster Tahith Chong has signed a two-year contract extension to end talk of quitting the club.

The youngster, 20, had been strongly linked with a move to Italy in January – and his agent was even spotted at Inter Milan after being all-but frozen out this term.

Barcelona and Juventus had also registered an interest after learning of Chong's perceived unsettled situation.

But now the winger is set to stay at the club after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer convinced him he had a future at Old Trafford after all, with some reports claiming Chong will now be paid £30,000 a week.

On the deal, the Holland Under-21s star said: "When I joined Manchester United as a youngster, it was a dream come true.

"It is an honour every time I pull on the shirt and represent this club.

"I am working hard every day to improve and I know this is the perfect environment to develop my game.

“The opportunity to learn from the manager, his coaching staff and the world-class players here is fantastic.

"I am delighted to sign this new contract and really grateful for the chance to prove myself here for many years to come.”
