He’s got terrible luck with injuries. His slight frame and all action game probably doesn’t help. Once his body fully settles he’ll be a weapon in some team. I think he’s a future PL player but not with us.

Crap news. He’s young to have had two such serious injuries already.
Shit! This is terrible and he just started to enjoy game time and got applauded for his effort and performance.
Wish him a quick recovery.
Bad luck for him. Hope he comes back strong.
Is he still Injured ?
I remember him in training with United squad not long ago

Yeah, but Bowyer actually came out and said he was well ahead of schedule which is encouraging. So will probably be back in a few weeks.
Any news on when he's back? My Birmingham mate wont shut up about him, reckons he's too good for their other players.
Good to have him as depth for the remainder of the season but realistically can't see him having much of a future here.
With only a years left on his deal, will be interesting to see if he will be given opportunities in the next 18 months particularly if we get Eric Ten Heg with their Dutch connections.
Hmm... unless he's going to play here, I don't think we should have recalled him. He's being praised to high heaven at Birmingham, and would've been integral to their survival fight once fit; are we just going to have him twiddling his thumbs in the squad now?
All the things I've heard about him on his loan have pointed toward a player growing by the month and really enjoying himself; I can't imagine he's too chuffed if he's back here to be a body instead of a genuine part of the rotation.
It would be some story if he were to get playing time here for the remainder of the season, though!

Probably the fact he won't be fit until late in the season, they probably aren't counting on him now.
We're pretty light on the right wing, come the end of the season when he's finally fit we might need him.
Looked like he was in training today according to that new United app. Also on the club website.

Yeah he is but with a view to returning to Brummigum. He won’t be helping our cause this season.
It would make sense for him to stay given we let so many players leave in January.
He's not one of the youngsters who appears to have the highest potential, but I think he has a chance to surprise some people. His pace, work rate and versatility could see him be a useful squad option and play at a higher level than more technically gifted youngsters who come through the ranks. Being left footed increases his prospects too. He can play either wing, in a midfield three and IMO as a wing back/attacking full back.

Not aware of that tweet until now. Excited to see him play if he doesn’t go back, although Somebody needs to tell Lee Bowyer and the bluenoses….

It's a real mystery it seems!
Well, I hope he has been recalled with the intention of using him as it is not a good look if we've taken him off a team where he's a star to do nothing here. But we'll see, don't know enough about Ralf's tendencies to say he's wasting the kid's time by bringing him back.
Will he be registered to play? He's over 21 and we already have a 25 man squad unless we don't register Grant again. We already have 3 keepers so it's bit pointless having 4 but we have been putting 2 keepers on the bench recently. Is Grant a coach now? RR was talking about bring in a GK if Henderson went out on loan.
If Chong's still registered to Birmingham on a season loan why wouldn't he go back? Surely he's only doing his rehab here. Bowyer's been talking about him coming back for the last 2 months.

Weird, that Pete usually is pretty reliable but it doesn't make sense. Chong is on a season long loan at Birmingham, just because he is injured that shouldn't change. Also, Bowyer has been talking A LOT about Chong coming back and he has been there visiting as well. I think he's just doing his rehab at United and will probably be back at Birmingham in a week or two to start full training.
Not unless he is being used to cover for a certain players suspension. As he is a left footed forward.
Yeah but surely United should announce that they have recalled him. I believe that he has been recalled when I see it, I don't think United will do that though.
We recalled him in November, no?
Neither United nor Birmingham has said anything about that, from what I know.
I did chuckle when I saw him crop up on the United socials the day after the transfer window closed. Like a new signing indeed.
Hopefully the Birmingham experience has done him some good. He's always looked a tad nervous when he's featured for us but hopefully, if he does feature, he'll be alot more composed and confident.
Hasn't he played in central midfield for Birmingham?
Yes I'm just desperate to not see Matic again this season.

Not really a classic CM, more of a Di Maria role at Madrid. An advanced number 8/10 with the freedom to roame.
Can't wait for the next Luke Shaw interview where he raves about Chong and affirms that most of the squad have been blown away by his otherworldly ability and mentality.
If he's feeling particularly chatty, he'll probably add how everyone's completely convinced that if we had him at the start of the season instead of the other one, we'd be at least 9 points clear of City.

Ah, thanks.
Isn’t that a fake account? It has 1 follower.
That would certainly make more sense…..
I’ve been done here…sorry everyone. I never thought anyone would make a fake Twitter account for someone I barely knew of in the first place!
Definitely fake account, 6 tweets, 1 follower, account created in January.
Im actually intrigued to know how @Mickeza even find him. The account has nearly no interaction at all.
I just search MUFC on Twitter during transfer season and that tweet popped up - I knew the guy (he was pretending to be) is reliable for championship stuff and I don’t think the real one has a blue tick hence why I tweeted. I got played. Badly.
Case closed
@Mickeza easily done, had me too. Strange person to impersonate and strange thing to fake tweet about though…
