Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given the thumbs up for youngster Tahith Chong to join Werder Bremen on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old asked the Manchester United boss to leave the club next season after being limited to just three Premier League substitute appearances.

Chong was in the squad to face Copenhagen in their Europa League quarter-final win but remained an unused substitute.

And after learning of Werder Bremen’s interest, he has his heart set on a temporary switch to the Bundesliga club.

Chong’s agent Erkan Alkan told Bild: “Mr Solskjaer kept his promise from March and told Tahith that he can leave the club.

“The boy really wants to go to Werder.

“He wants to be part of the preparation as soon as possible so that he can quickly find his way around.”
