Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has suggested that he had been left pleased with Tahith Chong's performance against Club America.

Mourinho is missing a number of first-team players for the club's pre-season tour of America, and that has resulted in members of the second-string being given the opportunity to feature across the pond.

Chong played a part in United's equaliser during the 1-1 draw with Club America, and while Mourinho acknowledged that the 18-year-old is still developing, there were words of encouragement for the Dutchman.

Mourinho told MUTV: "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. 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."

Chong was named as the club's young player of the season for the most recent campaign.
