Manchester United's Former Young Star
Manchester United once had Tahith Chong, one of the best youngsters in the world, but now his career is at an all-time low.
In 2019, Chong was nominated for the Golden Boy award, alongside Diogo Dalot, who was also in the top 80. However, his career has taken a turn for the worse, and he is now bottom of the Championship.
The 2025 Golden Boy top 25 has been confirmed, with only one Manchester United player, Leny Yoro, included. This is a significant decrease from last year, when the club had three players in the top 25.
A Golden Boy nomination doesn’t guarantee a player will become top class.
Alejandro Garnacho was sold, and Kobbie Mainoo’s struggles have seen him drop out of the top 25. This lack of youth usage is concerning and needs to be addressed by Ruben Amorim.
