FIFA 18 Adds Wonderkid To Manchester United Squad On The Game

Manchester United fans are buzzing following the inclusion of highly-rated youngster Tahith Chong on FIFA 18.

Along with Angel Gomes, who has made two appearances for the first-team and was on the game from the start, Chong has been tipped for big things.

Despite being on the losing side, the versatile midfielder made a huge impression in front of Jose Mourinho, who was watching on. Spurs won 3-1 but Chong, wearing the No.7 still looked very good, scoring United's goal in the defeat and showcasing his talents throughout.

To the excitement of United fans who play FIFA, he's been added to the first-team as part of the latest update. Handed the No.53 squad number and listed as a left winger, he is 64-rated and boasts stats such as 78 pace, 54 shooting, 59 physical, 60 passing, 27 defending, and 67 dribbling.

While the aforementioned attributes are anything but special, players should have good fun developing him in career mode as he has a potential rating of 84, which should be achieved by the time he turns 84.

The prospect of he and Gomes tearing up a few years into your stint at United is pretty cool, while he's also not a bad shout as a loanee for a lower-league side, if that tickles your fancy.

Now that he's being added to the ranks in the virtual one, United supporters will be hoping it isn't too long before he's brought into the first-team fold - with many hoping he's in the squad for the 5th round FA Cup tie against Huddersfield on Saturday.
