Mourinho heaps praise on United youngster Chong

The 18-year-old came on for the last 30 minutes of the game in Phoenix and played a crucial part in United's equaliser.

A fleet-footed winger, Chong earned rave reviews last season in United's youth teams and he can now count Mourinho among his admirers as well.

Speaking to 'MUTV' after the game, the Portuguese praised the youngster's mentality and quality, though he did admite that he wasn't physically ready for senior football quite yet.

 "He was good. He came with the intention to show, and in a moment where we have no strikers on the pitch, Martial was the only one and then he left, so we needed people to create, have some initiative, which he did," Mourinho enthused.

"The action for the cross for the goal is a beautiful action. He was enthusiastic, he was confident to play.

"Of course physically he has his limitations, and when he has one more touch and he allows that body contact of course he loses it, but when he makes the ball move and attacks people one against one, he has quality. He's a good kid."
